Digital Technologies and Platformization: An analysis of their impacts on social and educational dynamics

Abstract

The technological revolution, driven by digital technologies, networks and platformization, has transformed the dynamics of society and accelerated the pace of these changes in the social and educational fields. This article seeks to analyze how the growing divide between the real and digital world, resulting from technological and economic changes, is impacting contemporary social and educational dynamics. The objective of the article is to discuss the new challenges posed by digital technologies and educational platformization that reshape pedagogical practice, human relations, modes of communication and forms of learning, as well as the production and transmission of knowledge. The concepts of Network Society and Surveillance Capitalism will be presented in an attempt to bring us closer to a teaching proposal that provides critical reflection on the network pedagogical reality. From these perspectives, this article proposes an analysis of the effects of digital platformization and its social and educational consequences.
