Integration of technology in collaborative learning: Strategies and impacts on modern education

Abstract

The study in question explored the application of Collaborative Learning integrated with digital technologies in the contemporary educational context. The main objective was to analyze how this combination enhances the learning process by developing essential skills for the 21st century in students. The methodology adopted consisted of a literature review on Collaborative Learning and the use of educational technologies. The database consulted was Scielo Brasil. Theoretical models and case studies illustrating the practical implementation of this approach in educational settings were examined. The results indicated that Collaborative Learning, supported by technological resources, not only facilitates interaction and cooperation among students, but also enhances the acquisition of knowledge and skills. This is due to the fact that digital technologies provide diverse platforms for communication, exchange of ideas, and access to a vast array of educational resources. It is of paramount importance to incorporate technology into the educational process, emphasizing that this integration is essential to prepare students for the challenges of the future, promoting a more dynamic, interactive education aligned with the demands of the contemporary world.
