ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNOLOGIES IN EDUCATION

Abstract

The objective of this research was to analyze the opportunities and impacts of the use of active methodologies and technologies in education, aiming to understand how these approaches can transform the teaching-learning process. The methodology adopted was a bibliographic research, which involved the review of academic studies, articles and books on the main active methodologies, such as problem-based teaching (PBL), project-based learning (PBL), the flipped classroom and gamification, and on the use of digital technologies in education, such as online platforms, artificial intelligence and augmented reality. The results indicated that, when integrated, active methodologies and technologies offer several opportunities, such as increasing student engagement, personalizing learning, fostering collaboration, and developing essential skills for the 21st century, such as autonomy and critical thinking. In addition, technological tools enable more efficient educational management, facilitating continuous assessment and real-time feedback. However, the survey also identified challenges, such as the lack of adequate infrastructure and inequality in access to technologies, which need to be overcome to ensure the inclusion of all students. The conclusion highlights that the combination of active methodologies and technologies has the potential to transform education, making it more dynamic, inclusive and aligned with the needs of a digital society, as long as it is accompanied by public policies that promote access and teacher training.
