Abstract

SILVA, Gildemarks Costa e. Tecnologia, educação e tecnocentrismo: as contribuições de Álvaro Vieira Pinto. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2013, vol.94, n.238, pp.839-857. ISSN 2176-6681.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the concept of technology in the thought of Vieira Pinto. The analysis focuses on the book O Conceito de Tecnologia, which presents in a condensed form Vieira Pinto’s reflections on the subject. It is argued that the author’s reflections on technology provide to the educational field concepts that enable a critical understanding of the issue of technology and its relation to education and thus bring out possibilities of overcoming the problem of technocentrism, especially within the educational field.

Keywords : Technology; Education; Technocentrism.
