As tecnologias digitais na educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the use of Digital Technologies in classrooms of Youth and Adult Education - EJA, motivated by the intensive use of these technologies today and that we are demanding from all of us a knowledge of these tools, which is now a condition indispensable for insertion in the labor market and all other forms of social relations. The school is challenged not only to provide access, but to give learners educational experiences in which it is possible to acquire and practice the skills necessary for young people and adults to interact with these digital technologies. Anchored in the theoretical foundation of Almeida (2001), Kenski (2007) and Wagner (2010) was made a qualitative research, whose subjects were six teachers of the EJA of public schools of João Pessoa. Unstructured visits and interviews were the tools used to collect data, which showed us that in these schools there is still no effective use of Digital Technologies, especially the computer, neither in the classroom, nor in the computer labs that are temporarily disabled. We conclude that the non-use of Digital Technologies in activities that favor teaching and learning is due to the fact that teachers do not yet have the mastery of these resources for the development of skills, nor do they have the time or the great interest to learn.
