Introduction. The study examines the ambiguous attitude of the scholarly community to the changes occurring in the education system, in general, and to the use of digital technologies within education, in particular. The aim of this study is to reveal the specifics of the educational changes on the basis of a critical review of research investigations, analysis of value factors determining the problems of integration of digital information and communication technologies in education before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods. The research methodology includes the analysis and generalization of international and Russian refereed research literature investigating the problems of information developments of society, virtualization of cognitive processes and the development of education. Results. The research findings indicate the specificity of highly critical attitudes of the scholarly community to the use of digital technologies in education and to the current outcomes of the use of the virtual environment in the educational process. The authors emphasize that, in contrast to the situation of the previous stage, there is a particularly pronounced mediated nature of communication in the virtual space, which, as a consequence, determines the possibility of losing a range of informative elements in the process of communicative exchange. In this regard, the focus of the study is on the issues of formative assessment and feedback in the process of virtual communication in education. The authors clarify and define modern educational changes. They argue that virtualization in modern educational practice is the most important factor influencing, first of all, value orientations of the individual. The content of value orientations is changing as well. Values are being re-estimated; attention is focused on the values of safety and health. In this concern, the main attention is shifted to the following issues: the influence of digital learning on the functional body responses, the safety of educational interaction, individuals’ adaptation to altered conditions, and formation of adaptive developmental mechanisms. Conclusions. In conclusion, the authors summarize the main characteristic features and value factors which determine the problems of integration of digital information and communication technologies in education.

RESUMO: Pesquisar a inserção das tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação nos contextos formativos envolve problematizar as percepções, apropriações e significações de professores e alunos sobre a questão. Este texto buscou identificar as produções científicas brasileiras (teses e dissertações) a respeito do letramento digital na formação de professores, realizadas entre os anos de 2010 a 2018. Utilizamos a revisão sistemática como procedimento metodológico, com o auxílio do software Parsifal. Pontuamos as seguintes equações para verificar nos trabalhos: quais objetivos de pesquisa essas produções revelam? Que perspectivas de letramento digital e quais procedimentos e instrumentos metodológicos os pesquisadores adotaram? Quais resultados dos processos de letramento digital trabalhados na formação de professores foram revelados? Como resultados, validamos 37 trabalhos, que apontam as configurações das propostas de formação com usos das tecnologias digitais que procuram responder às novas dinâmicas sociais para as quais os alunos-professores precisam estar aptos. De acordo com as pesquisas encontradas, os cursos de formação inicial ou continuada têm inserido as tecnologias digitais em suas práticas, mas as possibilidades de usos ainda são muitas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: letramento digital; formação de professores; revisão sistemática.   ABSTRACT: Researching the insertion of digital information and communication technologies in the formative contexts involves problematizing teachers and students’ perceptions, appropriations and meanings about the issue. This text sought to identify the Brazilian scientific productions (theses and dissertations) regarding digital literacy in teacher education, between the years 2010 to 2018. We used the systematic review as a methodological procedure, with the help of the Parsifal software. We scored the following equations to verify the work: which research objectives do these productions reveal? What perspectives of digital literacy and what procedures and methodological instruments did the researchers adopt? What results of the digital literacy processes worked on in the training of teachers were revealed? As results, we validated 37 works, which point out the settings of training proposals with uses of digital technologies that seek to respond to the new social dynamics that student-teachers need to be able to. According to the research works found, the initial or continued training courses have lent themselves to insert the digital technologies, but the possibilities of uses are still many.

As inovações tecnológicas acontecem a todo o momento e a presença destas tecnologias, em sala de aula, já vem sendo estudada há um bom tempo. Por isso, o objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um mapeamento de teses e de dissertações defendidas nos Programas de Pós-graduação do Estado do Paraná, cuja temática se refere ao uso de Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação, no ensino de Matemática. Para encontrar os Programas de Pós-graduação desejados foi utilizada a plataforma Sucupira, na qual foram encontrados 19 Programas de Pós-graduação, e por meio de pesquisa em banco de teses e de dissertações de cada um se obtiveram 16 trabalhos referentes ao uso de Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação no ensino de Matemática. Neste artigo foi realizada a análise dos trabalhos encontrados entre os anos de 2004 a 2015. As teses e dissertações foram agrupadas em quatro categorias: Lousa Digital; Formação Docente; Softwares e Objetos de Aprendizagem; Modelagem Matemática e Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação. A análise permitiu uma reflexão sobre o uso das Tecnologias Digitais em várias perspectivas. Além de conhecer algumas de suas potencialidades, como a interação entre a tecnologia, os alunos e o professor, proporcionando um ambiente motivador para o aluno, pode-se perceber as dificuldades apresentadas pelos professores para a sua utilização em sala de aula. Algumas destas dificuldades são os problemas técnicos dos equipamentos, a falta de manutenção dos mesmos e da formação docente adequada para a utilização destas tecnologias. Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática. Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação. Ensino de Matemática.AbstractThe technological innovations happen all the time and the presence of these technologies in the classroom has been studied for a long time. Therefore, the objective of this work is to present a mapping of theses and dissertations defended in the graduate  programs of  Paraná state, whose thematic refers to the use of Digital Technologies of Information and Communication in the teaching of mathematics. In order to find the desired graduate programs, Sucupira platform was used where 19 graduate programs were found. Through research in the theses and dissertations bank of each one, 16 studies were obtained referring to the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies in the teaching of mathematics. In this paper, the analysis of the works found between the years  2004 and 2015 was carried out. The theses and dissertations were grouped into four categories: Digital Board; Teacher’s Training; Softwares and Learning Objects; Mathematical Modeling and Digital Technologies of Information and Communication. The analysis allowed a reflection on the use of Digital Technologies in various perspectives. Besides knowing some of their  potentialities, such as the interaction between technology, students and teacher, providing a motivating environment for the student, one can perceive the difficulties presented by the teachers for their use in the classroom. Some of these difficulties are the technical problems of the equipment, as well as the lack of maintenance and adequate teacher’s training for the use of these technologies.Keywords: Mathematics Education.

The purpose of this text is to reflect on pedagogical experiences with the use of digital information and communication technologies (DICT), in specific use of blog, in the teaching of Chemistry. The planned experience took place over two months and was carried out in high school classes of public school. Other technological determinist theories affirm that the technologies are the responsible to determine the socio-historical directions of the context. The results showed that the structural conditions of classroom, computer lab and internet access at home greatly influence the achievement of activities using digital technologies. On the part of the students, it was observed that their engagement is not directly linked to the use of a TDIC, but to the type of activity that is performed through them. Thus, the blog, when used pedagogically, can motivate the interest of the students, but the fact of being an internet tool does not guarantee this. It is possible to conclude, therefore, that theories directed at technological determinism are questionable, since only the presence of technology can not meet the pedagogical needs of the educational process; It continues to depend on the teaching action and the learning situation.

In the last few years, several initiatives based on extracurricular activities have been organized in many countries around the world, with the aim to reduce the digital gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields. Among them, the Digital Girls summer camp, organized every year since 2014 by two Italian universities with the aim to attract female students to ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) disciplines, represents quite a unique initiative for its characteristics of long-duration (3–4 entire weeks) and complete gratuitousness for the participants. The COVID-19 emergency imposed severe changes to such activities, that had to be modified and carried out in the online mode as a consequence of social distancing. However, on one hand, the general lack of high-quality evaluations of these initiatives hinders the possibility to understand the actual impact of extracurricular activities on the future academic choices of the participants. On the other hand, the availability of data collected over different editions of Digital Girls has allowed us to analyze the summer camp impact and to evaluate the pros and cons of in-presence and online activities. The main contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we present an overview of existing experiences, at the national (Italian) and international levels, to increase female participation in integrated STEM and ICT fields. Second, we analyze how summer camp participation can influence girls’ future academic choices, with specific attention to ICT-related disciplines. In particular, the collection of a significant amount of data through anonymous surveys conducted before and after the camp activities over the two editions allowed us to evidence the different impacts of in-presence and online extracurricular activities.

This research makes empirical tests of a Bourdieu concept for sociology of science: the social hierarchy of objects. Looking at the specific field of Education, the research sought to measure the position of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) within this hierarchy. To this end, we collected metadata of thesis defended in postgraduate programs in Education in Brazil with grade five and higher between 1996 and 2016. The data indicated the production by HEI and geographically. Also the keywords were analyzed in a Network and indicators of centrality and density were used to map the hierarchy of objects and, consequently, the distribution of scientific capital among them in the field. Empirical tests have shown that DICT and distance education, as necessarily mediated by a technology, have relevance within the field as a concentration of symbolic capital. The analysis showed that the Hierarchy formed by the technologies segment was denser than the total network and that there was a considerable weight for the distance education modality. Regarding the hierarchy of objects in the DE subfield, a certain autonomy was observed in relation to the complete field, since its objects turned to subjects more important to the modality related to the student. Finally, statements from other DE studies were compared with the research data that showed some quantitative divergences, but qualitative convergences emphasizing the same observed trends and corroborating the analyzes of this research.ResumoEsta investigação faz testes empíricos de um conceito de Bourdieu para a sociologia da ciência: a Hierarquia Social dos Objetos. Olhando para o campo específico da Educação, a investigação procurou mensurar a posição das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) dentro desta hierarquia. Para tanto, foram coletados metadados de teses defendidas em Programas de pós-graduação em Educação no Brasil com nota cinco e superior entre os anos de 1996 e 2016. Os dados indicaram a produção por IES e geograficamente bem como as palavras-chave foram analisadas em rede e indicadores de centralidade e densidade foram utilizados para mapear a hierarquia dos objetos e, por consequência, a distribuição de capital científico entre eles no campo. Os testes empíricos mostraram que as TDIC e também a EaD, por ter necessariamente mediação por uma tecnologia, têm relevância dentro do campo enquanto concentração de capital simbólico. As análises mostraram que a Hierarquia formada pelo recorte de Tecnologias chegava a ser mais densa que a rede total e que havia um peso considerável para a modalidade a distância. Sobre a hierarquia de objetos no subcampo EaD, observou-se uma certa autonomia em relação ao campo completo, pois seus objetos se voltavam a assuntos mais caros à modalidade relacionados ao aluno. Por fim, foram confrontadas afirmações de outras investigações sobre EaD com os dados da investigação que mostraram algumas divergências quantitativas, mas convergências qualitativas enfatizando as mesmas tendências observadas e corroborando as análises desta investigação.Palavras-chave: Educação, Sociologia da ciência, Produção científica, Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação.Keywords: Education, Sociology of science, Scientific production, Digital information and communication technologies.ReferencesÁVILA, Patrícia.
