DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES USED BY CHILDREN IN KINDERGARTEN

Abstract

Today's children have become the first generation where their entire development takes place in an age full of information and digital technologies. This led us to identify opinions related to the use and mastery of digital technologies in teaching among children completing compulsory pre-primary education. We investigated and interpreted the view of the teaching process with digital technologies from the perspective of the research subjects. We applied a qualitative methodology and the investigation had a hermeneutic character with the use of a narrative interview, direct and indirect observation. We found that the child manages and controls digital technologies and places himself / herself in the role of an expert in their management and control. We suggest that educators rethink the way that children are learning, the way that they teach children and how teachers create a suitable digital learning environment. We will formulate the following research findings into recommendations for teachers' pedagogical practice to ensure their pedagogy.
