THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES

Abstract

The present study addressed the implementation of active methodologies in the educational context, aiming to understand the effects of these approaches on the academic performance of students. The overall objective was to analyze how active methodologies influence learning, identifying the challenges and opportunities associated with adoption. To achieve this objective, a literature review was carried out, which included the analysis of several sources on the subject. The results showed that active methodologies promote a positive impact on academic performance, in addition to favoring the development of essential skills, such as autonomy and teamwork. The analysis of the students' perceptions showed that, when they became protagonists of their learning, they demonstrated greater motivation and engagement. The final considerations highlighted that, although the findings confirm the effectiveness of active methodologies, there is a need for further research that explores implementation in different educational contexts. These investigations can enrich knowledge about the challenges and innovative practices in teaching. Thus, the research contributed to the understanding of the role of active methodologies in contemporary education.
