Abstract

LADEIRA, Francisco Fernandes. The application of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) in Geography teaching: beyond instrumental visions. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2022, vol.29, e029.  Epub June 08, 2023. ISSN 1983-1730.  https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v29a2022-29.

The Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) - smartphones, computers and tablets, among other devices - have been changing the different social relationships, in general, and the process of knowledge construction, in particular. When talking about DICTs in the school environment, we often find positions that conceive these technologies only as "teaching materials" or "methodologies", which means considering them as simple didactic and pedagogical tools. In this sense, aiming to overcome instrumental views about DICTs, in this article we propose the compression of digital technologies as devices responsible for generating new ways of teaching and learning, emphasizing the contents worked in school Geography and the pedagogical possibilities of application of digital technologies in this discipline. Our research procedure was characterized by a literature survey on the social and cognitive impacts of digital technologies. We found that DICTs, more than potential paradidactic resources, are cultural artifacts that can modify the way the brain learns.

Keywords : DICTs; Methodologies; Basic education; Cognition.
