Inovação em tecnologias emergentes para a educação: uma revisão da literatura produzida no Brasil

Abstract

In view of the adverse situations that the world has been facing, Information and Communication Technologies have been a great ally for achieving success, whether in the economic, social, political or educational scope. With this, the relevance in directing studies in terms of innovation for this context is notorious, thus, this research cuts to the educational scope, due to the emergence in problematic moments, for example, pandemics that require social isolation. Thus, the objective is to present an overview of scientific development on innovation in emerging technologies for the area of early childhood education. Therefore, it was necessary to establish a methodological delimitation as the approach is characterized as an exploratory-descriptive study, as it aims to deepen a specific look at the aforementioned discussions, as the nature is suitable for a qualitative and quantitative study, since data is worked both in collection and in filters and qualitative analysis, and as for the purposes, it brings the character of applied research. Additionally, it was necessary to draw a methodological strategy based on bibliometric study and content analysis to carry out the collection and processing of data in a structured way in order to obtain significant results, considering the Google Scholar database. Based on the aforementioned assumptions, it was possible to identify that the quantity and approaches of scientific production in the area in question can still be improved, considering that out of 351 records returned for analysis, only 172 were related to the content and 20 dealt with teaching technologies with proposals for technological innovations relevant to that context. Therefore, this research contributes significantly to discussions in the area of information technology, especially for the importance of developing emerging technologies within the context of education, more specifically in early childhood education. In addition, this research promotes the relevance and discussion of development, innovation and emerging technologies, an area consistent with the specialization in question.
