Ponencia: Reclaiming Humanity in the Classroom: Fostering Fundamental Values in a Technological World
In the current educational landscape, characterized by rapid technological advancement, we face a reality where students are immersed in electronic devices most of the time. This digital revolution has transformed how they communicate, interact, and learn, but it has also brought a challenge: the loss of human relationships and neglect of fundamental values. The presentation delves into the urgent need to restore and strengthen essential values such as respect, responsibility, and empathy in the educational environment. The omnipresence of technology has reshaped language and communication, creating a scenario where the foundations of these values are often undermined. We will explore practical and applicable strategies to integrate these values into the daily life of the classroom. From creating specific activities to promoting collaborative environments, the presentation will offer concrete tools to cultivate an atmosphere where students not only acquire academic knowledge but also crucial social skills. Additionally, we will address the importance of pedagogical adaptation in the 21st century, recognizing that technology can be a valuable ally in values formation when used consciously and reflectively. "Reclaiming Humanity in the Classroom" provides a comprehensive and practical vision to address contemporary challenges, reminding us that, in the digital age, effective education goes beyond information transmission: it involves the comprehensive development of ethical and socially responsible individuals.
