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.
