Paulo Freire, tecnologias e educação: olhares de pesquisadores brasileiros.

Abstract

The study discusses the theme of technologies in education, starting from the problem of how Freire's thought influences the views of Brazilian researchers on the use of digital technologies in education. The methodology used was the qualitative and exploratory perspective, through a bibliographical study based on research by Brazilian authors on this theme. Thus, the general objective of the research is to understand the influence of Freire's thinking on the use of technologies in education. The results indicate that Paulo Freire, although he has not dedicated himself to the specific theme of technologies as the axis of his productions and research, collaborates immensely with important and current reflections on the subject, highlighting that technologies are neither good, nor bad, nor neutral. and that, therefore, its use in education demands critical and conscious perspectives from users. We conclude that it is important to constantly question the use of technologies in education, from a praxis perspective.
