Paper Abstract:
|
The digital technologies are increasingly present in the daily life as we can notice through the dissemination of smartphones
with countless apps that brought innovation in the manner people interact, access information and learn. The educational
environment is not aloof from this digital evolution and there are several initiatives to apply technologies in the education
on several subjects, being this paper focused on Accountancy undergraduate program. This paper is based on a qualitative
research method comprising the review of the literature as well as the participant observation of two semesters of the course
Accounting Information Systems at the University of São Paulo. It is possible to observe that the digital technologies
increase the dynamics in the teaching-learning process, however it is necessary to be mindful that the technology is not the
end, instead it is the mean. The digital technology use has a broader impact than a mere tool, because the current
technologies have potential to interact with people and allow them to reorganize their thinking process. For scholars, several
possibilities unfold to fulfill the learning objectives, going far beyond blackboard and books. For professors, there is the
challenge of being trained, adapt and incorporate the technologies in the classroom. |
