MATTAR, João; SILVA, Rodrigo Tavares da  e  ROCHA, Julciane Castro da. TECHNOLOGY IN THE CURRICULUM OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN BRAZIL: ANALYSIS OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2023, n.65, e24611.  Epub 16-Fev-2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n65.24611.

The purpose of this research is to identify, in Brazilian legal documents and research, proposals for the use of technology in early childhood education. In addition to a literature review, this study codified and categorized legal documents that include curriculum guidelines for early childhood education. The results pointed to a gap in the literature on the subject. Documents prepared by the Municipal Secretary of Education of São Paulo include more guidelines for incorporating technologies in early childhood education than federal documents. Children are born and live today immersed in digital technologies. However, these technologies are still little used in school environments. There is resistance to using technologies with children, a lack of resources to ensure adequate infrastructure, and a lack of continuing education of educators and policymakers. Several documents analyzed present a critical view on the incorporation of these technologies into early childhood education, including the concern with the time of exposure to screens, the submission to the logic of the market and the capitalism of surveillance, security and data protection, through the elaboration of a concept of digital citizenship. There is a divergence in the documents regarding the potential of technologies to reduce or widen the digital divide. Future work may include other documents to enrich the analysis.
