The integration of technology in basic and secondary education in Portugal from the 70s of the 20th century to the present day

Abstract

This systematic literature review aims to analyze the pedagogical experiences with the use of technologies in Portugal between the seventies of the twentieth century and today. It sought to understand how they were introduced into school over fifty years. A total of 47 articles were selected and analyzed from the SCOPUS, SCIELO and Web of Science indexing databases. It was found that, despite a certain conservatism very focused on the instrumental use of technology, more practices with pedagogical intent and more focused on the active participation of students have been implemented in recent years, highlighting the growing importance of teacher training in this field of digital technologies, with the aim of making teachers more competent and fluent in the pedagogical use of digital tools.
