A conceituação da tecformação

Abstract

The present work has the general objective of conceptualizing the term tecformation, which refers to the interaction between man and digital technology in the process of training engagement, which is linked to the poles: self-training and hetero-training. Furthermore, this qualitative and bibliographic investigation is part of an ongoing doctoral thesis at a Brazilian public university. The theoretical foundations of this study were divided into two parts, the first exploring digital technological aspects, with emphasis on the ideas of Manuel Castells and Pierre Lévy. The second part, in turn, focuses on the formative aspects, with emphasis on the arguments of Gastón Pineau and Sidnei Macedo. Thus, these authors were selected as a reference for the analysis of the relationship between digital technologies and human training, contributing to the construction of the concept of Tecformation. Partial reflections lead to the understanding that the concept of digital tech-training represents a great challenge, which is related to new teaching proposals that need to be implemented in educational settings. Thus, it is necessary that current and future teachers learn to use digital technologies effectively in the classroom, providing their students with quality and up-to-date education.
