Digital technologies in basic education: the impact on teacher-student dynamics and implications for pedagogical practice

Abstract

 The growing incorporation of digital information and communication technologies (DICT) in basic education has led to significant transformations in the dynamics between teachers and students. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities arising from the integration of these resources into the school environment, highlighting issues such as unequal access, the need for teacher training, and the methodological changes that accompany the digital transformation of education. The analysis reveals that, while digital technologies offer new possibilities for personalization and collaboration in the learning process, their successful implementation requires a balanced approach involving adequate infrastructure, continuous educator training, and a critical pedagogical perspective. The study concludes that, when used reflectively, digital information and communication technologies can contribute to a more inclusive and effective education, better preparing students for the challenges of the 21st century.
