ABSTRACTThe electronic devices connected to internet are present everywhere; even though these resources are being more and more used in teaching practices, it is known that their usage is not always suitable for a definite contribution towards the teaching and learning process. An educational technology Brazilian academic productions bibliographical review has been raised in order to identify: the themes, the publication’s year and place and the teaching level. For that, the following topics have been researched on the Brazilian Digital Library of Thesis and Dissertations: Educational Technology; Digital Natives; Information and Communication Digital Technologies and; Educational Softwares. In total, 600 productions have been obtained, 76% of them regarding master studies and 24% regarding PhD studies. Based on the analysis of titles, abstracts and key-words of each production, 27 thematic categories have been gathered, and the ones which stood out are: Technology Resources (86), Teaching Training (73) and Distance Education (69). Regarding the publication’s year, it has been observed that from 2006 on, the number of publication substantially grew, and 2010 was the year with most productions. Regarding the publication’s places, the universities kept by the federal government stand for 41% of productions, private ones do 34% and state others reach 25%.RESUMOOs dispositivos eletrônicos conectados à internet estão presentes em todos os lugares, embora estes recursos sejam cada vez mais utilizados nas práticas didáticas, sabemos que essa utilização nem sempre se dá de maneira adequada que contribua efetivamente para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Realizamos um levantamento bibliográfico das produções acadêmicas brasileiras sobre tecnologia educacional, a fim de identificar: as temáticas, o ano e local de publicação e o nível de ensino. Para tanto, pesquisamos na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações os seguintes descritores: Tecno-logia Educacional; Nativos Digitais; Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação; Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação e Softwares Educativos.

Developments in information and communication technologies have raised the issue of the intergenerational digital divide that can take place between “digital natives” and “digital immigrants”. Despite emphatic claims concerning how educational systems must take into account the specific characteristics of “digital natives”, sound empirical research on these topics is lacking, especially for Europe. This paper presents the results of research performed during the course of 2008, studying how university students in Italy use digital technologies. The research is based on a survey of 1086 undergraduate students at the University of Milan-Bicocca, complemented by focus groups and in-depth interviews. The results of our research show that, even if university students are familiar with digital technologies, the general possession of high level skills in accessing and using the Internet should not be taken for granted.

The last fifteen years, in Brazil, the number of engineering freshmen had a huge increased and, although the number of graduated also had increased over the same period, the percentage of engineering freshmen are by far higher than engineers graduated. In this context, there is a clear evidence of the high dropout rate in higher education courses of engineering in Brazil. Once most of developed researches about engineering courses dropout in Brazil are focused in the students and institutions point of view about factors that affect dropout rate, in this research it was investigated the professors perspective to answer the three questions: (1) What are the main factors which prevent success in teaching and learning process identified by professors of engineering during the classes? (2) How can professors to improve the teaching and learning process in higher education courses of engineering in Brazil? (3) How can Higher Education Institutions (HEI) support the professors? The research data were collected through team activities developed with 134 professors of higher education courses of engineering. This research reveals that the most important factors that affect negatively the teaching and learning process are related to inadequate high school preparation and behaviour of students. Main suggestions of professors for improving the teaching and learning process and also students' motivation are related to pedagogical aspects such as: use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as support of classes and implementation of professor and student support programs with significant participation of HEI. Key words: qualitative research, problems in engineering education, professor's perspective, higher education of engineering in Brazil.

Members of the knowledge society, of the network society or of the informatics society are some names that seem to define the current generation. Net generation is a generic nomenclature which covers all the previous terms. Digital immigrants are the subjects whom were born before the advent of digital technologies and who joined to them. Digital natives are the subjects whom were born in the current generation and that would have special qualities, especially regarding the learning process. Considering all this context, a question arises: how the digital immigrants teach the digital natives? This item justifies itself because there is a meeting of generations, in theory, significantly differentiated. Due to this, it would be necessary to identify the appropriate educational forms according to the presented situation. Our teaching experience convinces us that, yes, we should valorize the information’s technologies and communication, understanding that these are means, not ends. It is important to highlight that any tool causes advances and regressions, a fact that serves to guide our teaching practice.

Resumo: Nosso objetivo nesse artigo é realizar uma breve discussão teórica e analisar alguns dados empíricos de uma pesquisa que articula a temática atual dos nativos digitais e a prática pedagógica em escolas dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Pesquisas apontam alterações no processo de ensinar e aprender, nas relações sociais, mediadas pelas Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação (TDIC). Como base para nossas discussões nos apoiamos em estudos teóricos para fundamentar a temática. Além disso, analisamos dados coletados com os alunos dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, que podem ser considerados nativos digitais e assim apresentamos algumas possibilidades de se (re)pensar a prática pedagógica, uma vez que as TDIC estão cada vez presentes nas relações sociais e nas escolas. Estudos sobre essas temáticas são essenciais para analisarmos a atual conjuntura do processo de ensinar e aprender dos nativos digitais.Palavras-chave: nativos digitais, prática pedagógica, tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação, educação escolar.  DIGITAL NATIVES AND PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE: POINTS AND COUNTERPOINTS Abstract: Our goal in this article is to perform a brief theoretical discussion and review some empirical data from a survey that articulates the current theme of digital natives and the pedagogical practice in schools in the early years of elementary school. Polls indicate changes in the process of teaching and learning, social relations, mediated by digital t technologies of information and communication (TDIC). As a basis for our discussions, we lean in theoretical studies to substantiate the topic and our discussions. In addition, we analyzed data collected with the students of the early years of elementary school, who can be considered digital natives, and so we present some possibilities of (re)thinking the pedagogical practice, once the TDIC are ever present in social relations and in schools. Studies on these themes are essential to analyze the current situation of teaching and learning processes for digital natives.Keywords: Digital natives. Pedagogical practice. Digital technologies for information and communication.

For more than 10 years, English teaching and learning approaches at Politecnico Grancolombiano were based on traditional methodologies with noticeable prevalence of deductive learning and summative assessment. In 2017, we surveyed students and teachers to analyze this panorama, and more than 500 responses shed light on the lack of motivation most of them had in their English learning and teaching processes. As a result, through a qualitative research project, we implemented the task-based teaching and learning approach in our English classes, featuring formative assessment, the use of information and communication technologies, and encouraging self-reflection moments for students to raise awareness of their learning process. The objective of this project was to identify the real benefits of these methodological changes in our programs, and to ensure triangulation, we used different data collection instruments such as journals, artifacts and surveys. It was found that task-based lessons offer students innovative, creative and real opportunities to learn English in and out of class. As well, students’ motivation and awareness of their learning process increased due to formative assessment routines. As for teachers, it can be concluded that these methodological innovations helped them plan more dynamic lessons and evidence students’ progress. Regarding Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), it was evident that it played an important role in teachers’ and students’ engagement. However, it revealed that it was necessary to strengthen technological skills and to guarantee the conditions to implement it.

This paper presents a conceptual framework on the implementation of Resource Based Learning (RBL) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) class. Resource based learning emerges as the proponent of constructivism as well as a response to the rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) and its influence in education. Digital technologies pose potential opportunities in changing the face of education. The affordances of digital technologies empower more student-centered learning and more accessible educational information. Teaching English for foreign learners is dynamic and requires innovations. Admittedly, most English learners in Indonesia need more exposure to authentic English learning resources, and digital technologies are very potential in accommodating their needs. Resource based learning sets an innovative framework and systematic approach for English educators in designing digital technology-based instructions.

<em>The use of Information and Communication Technology continues to experience developments, for example the use of blogs in supporting the learning process. Blog is a web service application created to make it easier for users to publish information through writing in the form of blog posts consisting of text, images, videos, audio, links and other files. In making a blog it is very easy and free for example blogger, the steps to create a blog on blogger are the first to create a gmail account, login and register to blogger.com, specify the blog name, blog address, choose and customize the blog template as desired. The use of blogs as an alternative learning media aims to enable students to explore the material posted by teachers in blogs that can be studied more flexibly and differently from conventional learning processes, so that blogs are the right learning media in a more effective and attractive teaching and learning process.</em>

Neuroscience and its concepts are very important contributions in the teacher's work because they provide a differentiated understanding of the dynamics of human cognitive functioning. Understanding how information is received and understood can be a substantial difference in the teacher's work so that he can plan his activities more effectively. In this context it is worth mentioning that we are in a reality permeated by Digital Technologies of Information and Communication (TDIC), which makes access to information to be expanded, besides having different types of information that have emerged with the evolution of these technologies. In this context, combining neuroscience, the presence of TDIC in the classroom can be very useful for teaching and learning processes, and it is necessary that the teacher be prepared to carry out his activities in the light of these concepts.
