Technological alchemy in basic education: uncovering new pedagogical horizons

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of Education 5.0 and the integration of technology in basic education, focusing on promoting student autonomy, digital and social inclusion, and the implementation of active methodologies, gamification, and project-based learning. The research aimed to understand how technology is reshaping the educational landscape and how students and educators can prepare for these changes. Relevant bibliographic references were analyzed for each topic, highlighting the importance of technology in personalized learning, overcoming inequalities, and promoting innovative pedagogical approaches. The results indicated that technology plays a fundamental role in promoting student autonomy but faces challenges such as resistance to change and the need for teacher training. Furthermore, digital and social inclusion is essential to ensure equal learning opportunities. Active methodologies, gamification, and project-based learning have shown promise but require adaptation and investment. In conclusion, technology is a powerful ally in preparing students for the 21st century, but its effective integration requires coordinated actions and investment in infrastructure and training.
