GENERATION OF SCREENAGERS AND EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES

Abstract

The present work is the result of a bibliographic research, in reliable sources, to respond to the objective of analyzing the challenges and possibilities that education faces today, when facing a generation immersed in the digital world. Screenagers, as they are called, need to be educated, develop social, emotional and also cognitive skills and abilities. How can the school organize itself to serve these young people? The paper is developed in subtitles that help to understand the relationship of this generation with the school universe: how their school career takes place and what are the biggest challenges for teachers and schools, always anchored in studies already carried out by authors such as Kenski, Moran, Camargo and Daros, among others. By way of conclusion, the school needs to develop a flexible and student-centered approach, embracing technology as a tool, but keeping the focus on students' social, emotional, and cognitive skills.
