THE USE AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES TO TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESSES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LAW STUDENTS

Abstract

The law course, since its genesis, has always had the chair as its main teaching method, in which the professor is the main provider of information in the classrooms, and students learn mainly through oral presentations. In view of the innovations in teaching and learning methods, this article aimed to analyze the use of digital technologies in the classroom, from the point of view of law students from a private college, located in the state of Pará. The methodology was based on a bibliographic study associated with field research, with a qualitative-quantitative approach, with data collection done through two instruments: a semi-structured questionnaire with closed questions, applied through google forms, and an interview. The results pointed out that the use of digital technologies as a contemporary resource for teaching represents challenges for students, but the main obstacles are logistical, to which is added the need for better digital literacy. However, it was detected that some technologies have been used satisfactorily and without resistance to the disruptive process of the secular teaching model. The survey also revealed that students yearn for the naturalization of the use of digital technologies in teaching practices, aiming at contributions also in the professional sphere, therefore, post-academy, to the new operators of law.
