Abstract

BARRETO, Raquel Goulart. “What a shame?!” Education and technologies: readings. Contrapontos [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.03, pp.349-359. ISSN 1984-7114.

This paper examines how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been recontextualized in educational policies and practices, especially in relation to the “poor” in developing countries. By means of a critical discourse analysis, it investigates the dialectical relationships between the symbolic and material dimensions, mediated by the imaginary dimension. It also provides some clues to reading and other classroom practices, as a move towards overcoming the hegemonic perspective of technological substitution.

Keywords : Technologies; Pedagogic Discourse; Policies; Practices.
