CONSTRUCTIVIST CONCEPTION PERMEATED BY THE USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY: A CASE STUDY

Diferent technologies are present in school contexts, and depending on how they are used, they can promote the construction of knowledge. To understand how the constructivist conception can contribute to constructivist learning permeated by the use of technologies this paper investigated the impact of digital technologies of information and communication (TDICs) in the constructivist teaching practice, from a case study in a school constructivist of Belo Horizonte - Minas Gerais, using a virtual learning environment (VLE) in a elective discipline. It was found that the use of TDICs goes beyond the knowledge constructed in school, favoring the teaching and learning process. So the VLE can be considered an educational as it provides a learning collaborative and mediated by various social subjects that act effectively for the construction of knowledge.
