Digital Technologies in Indigenous Education: Perspectives for the Training and Digital Inclusion of Macuxi Teachers

Abstract

This study analyzes the integration of digital technologies in Macuxi indigenous education, focusing on the challenges, strategies and teacher training necessary for effective implementation. The research examines how Information and Digital Communication Technologies (DIT) can be incorporated into the indigenous educational context, respecting their cultural particularities and specific needs. The methodology is based on a systematic review of the literature and analysis of practical experiences, identifying the main barriers and opportunities in the digital inclusion of this community. The results indicate that the integration of digital technologies in education depends on a participatory and meaningful teacher training process, in addition to a review of curricula and pedagogical practices. The study reveals that the use of educational technologies constitutes a fundamental human right, although there are important limitations in terms of infrastructure and adequate conditions for its use. The research also identifies the need to develop didactic-pedagogical and technical-digital skills in teachers. The conclusions point to the importance of a balanced approach that combines teacher training, digital educational resources and adequate infrastructure, integrated into the school curriculum. The study recommends the development of more robust and coordinated public policies to guarantee access and full participation of the Macuxi community in the digital era, promoting more inclusive and culturally sensitive education.
