Integrating technologies, active methodologies, and curriculum: promoting interactivity in the teaching-learning process

Abstract

This study, based on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), sought to understand how the fusion of emerging technologies, active learning methodologies, and curriculum could optimize education. The analysis of a successful practice by a history teacher, who used Virtual Reality to engage his students in the construction of historical knowledge, was one of the highlights. The strategy of integrating innovative technologies and active learning methodologies proved promising for improving education, especially when aligned with student-centered and interdisciplinary curricula. The pandemic highlighted the flexibility of teaching, with practices such as interactive virtual classes and virtual reality simulations keeping education active in remote environments. Interactivity is crucial in the teaching-learning process, as it stimulates student engagement and broadens the understanding of concepts. In the face of constant global changes, students need to be equipped with adaptable skills and critical thinking. Therefore, the intersection between technologies, active methodologies, and curriculum creates fertile ground for a more engaging and effective education. The continuous exploration and application of these approaches will significantly contribute to the creation of an enriching and effective teaching environment.
