YOUTH AND TECHNOLOGIES: EDUCATIONAL HORIZONS

The study discusses the different ways of living of the youths in the midst of the cultural learning stimulated by digital technologies, based on the approaches mapped in doctoral thesis produced from 2012 to 2016. It is a hermeneutic-reconstructive research carried out in the portal of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in the field of education, with the objective of identifying the problems, the dialogues and the challenges on the youths and the digital technologies. It is a question of recognizing the relationships between different perspectives that have come to us since the end of the 20th century, corresponding to the social changes that the media context is provoking in the possibilities of the intercultural dialogue of the youths. The debates about digital culture and its intertwining with the formation of young people feedback the educational processes, in the sense of going beyond instrumental ingenuity, which demands a practical impulse to the intercommunication in the world with the youths.
