Tecnologias digitais e o fenômeno da superdotação: uma análise do conhecimento de estudantes e professores da educação básica

Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the knowledge of gifted students and their respective teachers regarding the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT). It is a descriptive study developed in the Extension Project called "Identificação de estudantes com habilidades superiores e aconselhamento para pais e equipe escolar” (Identification of students with higher skills and counseling for their parents and school staff). The instruments applied were activities of the Programa de Atividades Dirigidas (PEDRO, 2016) and two questionnaires created in the Google Forms. The analysis of the students’ performance showed that although they are considered digital natives, there is a need to improve the way they conduct research and use production tools. Regarding the teachers' knowledge, it was verified that technological resources are still underutilized in the school environment since teachers more often exploit resources such as videos and films to the detriment of resources that allow a greater interaction and content production. In this regard, it is necessary to provide teachers with training that meets their needs, so that they can offer their students some pedagogical activities, through the DICT, which enable the student to use production tools and critically evaluate information available on the internet.
