Abstract

With the advances in technology in recent years, geotechnological and other digital tools have become more accessible and can be used in multiple didactic and pedagogical contexts, and can be highlighted as important support tools in the learning process in the classroom. However, their use in basic education is still a major challenge, given the need to disseminate practices that deal with geotechnologies in initial teacher training and ensure resources and infrastructure for most educational institutions. In this context, the proposed research will focus on evaluating and proposing ways to integrate such tools in different school settings. The purpose of the project is, therefore, to contribute to the integration of these resources in basic education and assist in the production of new teaching materials in dialogue with the school community, considering the socio-spatial factors and socio-educational inequalities that permeate the realities studied.
