Abstract

This article aims to discuss digital technologies in education from the perspective of distributed cognition (HUTCHINS, 2000; SALOMON, 2001). The theory of distributed cognition conceives cognition as a phenomenon that goes beyond the individual, being influenced by human social nature, as well as by the historical-cultural and material context produced by humanity. Thus, this approach is based on two essential principles. First, it considers cognition as a process that can occur in any context. Second, it goes beyond biological aspects by acknowledging that cognitive processes are influenced by the material world, offering opportunities to reorganize the cognitive system through both internal and external interactions. In a radical way, distributed cognition assumes that cognitive processes are inseparable from the interaction between the subject and the world, as well as from the technical artifacts present in this context. Understanding cognition as the result of complex and interconnected networks, in which human, biological, and technological factors interact, allows for a (re)evaluation of educational processes. From this perspective, we point out that schools should consider the current sociocultural context in their practices, aiming to ensure that students have autonomy and competence to participate, act, and learn critically in this new reality.
