Abstract

Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) drive a significant evolution in learning, altering cognitive architecture and reconfiguring pedagogical roles. This article analyzes this metamorphosis through the lens of constructivism and cognitive psychology, demonstrating the potential of digital tools to personalize teaching and foster students' intellectual autonomy. However, the investigation challenges these theoretical benefits by confronting them with Brazil's geopolitical reality. The national scenario reveals a profound digital divide, characterized by chronic underfunding and precarious infrastructure across public school networks. Furthermore, the absence of long-term policies for continuous teacher training restricts the consolidation of a critical praxis. The study concludes that technological innovation will only promote social equity and emancipation when articulated with state structural investments, transforming digital access into a universal right and a legitimate instrument of democratic justice.
