As tecnologias como ferramenta para uso pedagógico em tempos de Covid-­19.

Abstract

The study addressed the use of technologies as a pedagogical tool and the possible influences on children's learning, seeking to understand the way educators use these technological resources in the teaching and learning process. Therefore, we list as objectives, to analyze how teachers explore technological means in their pedagogical practices, highlighting their influences on the learning of children in the early years of elementary school; identify how technologies are being used in the school environment; map the teachers' perception about the use of equipment and technological resources in the pedagogical practices developed in the classroom; and to know the influences of the use of technological tools in the development of children. The investigation of the theme was based on the theoretical thinking of some authors who approach the historical context of the evolution of technologies, from ancient times to the present, their use in the pedagogical action of teachers and in students' learning. The empirical research was carried out at a state school in the city of Cajazeiras­PB, from which four (4) educators working in the initial years of schooling were selected as a sample. As methodological procedures, the study was developed through a qualitative approach, of an exploratory nature, having as an instrument of data collection, an interview constituted by structured questions in which we search for precise information to understand the studied theme. The results showed that educators need specialized training to know how to deal with technologies, since they have not yet appropriated the necessary knowledge to work with new technologies, presenting difficulties related to both the handling of equipment and the pedagogical use of tools. technologies in their educational action. We also note that teaching has undergone changes in its process, as the use of technologies has become the main tool in education, in the mode of remote teaching. Finally, we realized that children's learning in the early years reflects the development of their individual skills, so that the use of technologies in elementary school can be a new way of encouraging them to seek new knowledge.
