The use of technology in literacy among young people and adults: from the disruption caused by the pandemic to connection with the world (Atena Editora)

Abstract

The significant changes in society in recent years, especially from a scientific and technological perspective, have led human beings to believe in their omnipotence. Several signs present in everyday life were not enough to realize that the understanding of human beings, the organization of society and Education needed urgent changes. With the emergence of the pandemic caused by the Coronavirus worldwide since 2019 and, in Brazil, intensely since March 2020, significant changes have been taking place at the societal level, from personal relationships to the systematization of educational processes. Literacy for young people and adults is part of this context. If on the one hand there was the desire to become literate and the desire to learn, on the other hand there was the difficulty of interacting with technological resources, that is, the interface between the device, computer or cell phone, and the person, be it a teacher. or student. And it is this relationship that characterized the progress of the literacy process for young people and adults of the MEB Project (Base Education Movement). Thus, getting to know the actors, informing them about the importance of making use of technological resources and monitoring the teaching and learning process were the goals of the Project developed and presented here in essay form.
