A docência de Filosofia frente às novas tecnologias: desafios para novos tempos

Abstract

This research aims to cogitate the philosophy on school grounds. C¬¬¬ertainly, the philosophy as a “science of existence” always made itself present in the process of transformation of the human culture. The practice of cogitating is rooted in the labor of the lecturer, present in a new era, in a ‘virtual world of contemplation’ that always existed and materializes itself in the routine of contemporary men. Therefore, the analysis was conducted based on the work As tecnologias da inteligência: o futuro do pensamento na era da informática (LÉVY, 1993) and on the experiences we have in the classroom, ministering the subject of philosophy weekly in schools of basic education in the municipality of Manaus, third stage. Thus, we seek in Pierre Lévy the basis for understanding this proposition and find partnership with the school and with the subject of philosophy. The research sought to exemplify the use of new technologies as tools in the classroom. Sought, even, to articulate the concepts of Collective Intelligence, Cyberculture, Virtualization and Cyberspace already present in contemporary society providing foundation to knowledge or ‘collective intelligence’. Thereby, men rises as an active being in the cultural transformation coming from science coupled with technique and culminated, in our day, into new technologies of communication and information, stressing a new form of dialogue between communication, technologies and knowledge, a dialogue that became the root to what we call cyberculture. The use of philosophical texts with the support of technological tools provided and provides, without question, a new approach to teaching-learning of instruction of philosophy in the classroom. A recent procedure that evidences its particularities, its claims and its challenges to the lecturer commited to its time. The philosophy, while experience of thought in existence, cannot deprive itself of better understanding this new modus vivendi and assuming the possibility of reflection of this new world, to which men concurred and directly concur in its constitution. World that gradually adjusts to the constitution of the real.
