Juventude, tecnologia e educação: perspectivas para o ensino médio

Abstract

The present century has been marked by the acceleration of the electronic technology. Nowadays, it is crucial the graduation and compromise of the teachers with the apprenticeship and the ICT must be brought to discussion at school.By means of his daily relationships, the universal being (men) thinks, feels and act all the time through the social relationships he takes part. People act from a relationship of cultural exchanges, change themselves, the others and the nature. That´s the reason why it is necessary an education focused on the citizenship. The goal of this essay is to contribute for the analyses of the challenges the high school young student faces these days, what the teacher says and the empowerment the public schools provide for the future of these students in a society where the technological revolution brings to life a new era and the values are questionable, where everything is relative. And following this way of thinking, we question the ethics in education, mainly on this virtual environment cyber society where people communicate through electronic devices. At the chapters II and III of this essay, the aim is to analyze the youth, the technology and the education. And as the high school young student uses the ICT, the challenge of the school is to use this educational asset to guide and qualify this generation so that they can face a world that is more and more intertwined. The exclusivity of the classroom is no more or becomes limited because the school walls give it a new dimension. The one who teaches cannot be static before the strong influence launched by the technologies. The resume and the teacher graduation draw us to rethink paradigms. Education demands public politics, teachers´ graduation which empowers them to use the information and communication technologies ICT. Therefore, workshops are not enough, but an continued graduation, because it is useless to sophisticate the techniques if, on the other hand, there is no sophistication at the teachers´ classes and on their basis, and if he does not know what he wants from his students.
