Digital inclusion in schools: perspectives and challenges

Abstract

Education today faces several challenges where diversified work methodologies are increasingly needed, challenges where the use of information technologies is increasingly required. The objective of the research was to analyze how the insertion of information and communication technologies in the teaching-learning process in the context of remote teaching takes place. It is a bibliographic research of qualitative method, where articles and books by authors who research the subject and which are available in accredited virtual environments were revisited. According to the results, digital inclusion in schools still has several challenges to be overcome, such as: exclusion of the portion of the population that does not have access to means of communication, modern instruments and training of education professionals to handle them. However, although with difficulties, it is an increasingly accentuated perspective in the educational process. It is concluded from the research that there needs to be work on the part of public policies that can give the opportunity of access to all, thus reducing the disparities arising from social inequalities accentuated by the globalization process.
