Resumo: In this article, we discuss two possible futures for educational technologies and personalized learning. One is dominated by corporate products of programmed instruction in which “personalization” is strictly limited to the pace of consumption of the materials, with students unable to have any choice in terms of content or approaches. On the other end of the spectrum, maker education offers a different way to use technology, enabling students novel forms of expression and of agentic participation in today’s world. We conclude by warning about the appropriation of the discourse of progressive education by producers of systems of programmed instruction, and pointing out that there is, at the intersection of maker education and Freirean approches, a more promising future for educational technologies.

Um é dominado por produtos corporativos de instrução programada em que a “personalização” é rigorosamente limitada ao ritmo de consumo dos materiais, sem que os alunos tenham qualquer escolha de conteúdos ou abordagens. Em um campo diametralmente oposto, encontramos na educação maker um uso de tecnologia que oferece a estudantes novas formas de expressão e de participação agêntica no mundo atual. Concluímos alertando para a apropriação do discurso educacional progressista por produtores desses sistemas de instrução programada e apontando que há, na intersecção da educação maker com o pensamento de Paulo Freire, um futuro mais promissor para as tecnologias educacionais.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2021-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo convidadoArtigo convidadoTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/tsc/article/view/1606210.20396/tsc.v8i2.16062Tecnologias, Sociedade e Conhecimento; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2021): Special issue to celebrate Paulo Freire’s Birth Centenary; 8-24Tecnologias, Sociedade e Conhecimento; Vol. 8 Núm. 2 (2021): Edição temática sobre o Centenário de Nascimento de Paulo Freire; 8-24Tecnologias, Sociedade e Conhecimento; Vol. 8 No 2 (2021): Edição temática sobre o Centenário de Nascimento de Paulo Freire; 8-24Tecnologias, Sociedade e Conhecimento; v. 8 n. 2 (2021): Edição temática sobre o Centenário de Nascimento de Paulo Freire; 8-242318-8839reponame:Tecnologias, Sociedade e Conhecimentoinstname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/tsc/article/view/16062/11293Mundo; ContemporâneoMundo; ContemporâneoCopyright (c) 2022 Tecnologias, Sociedade e Conhecimentohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBlikstein, Paulo2022-05-31T16:55:12Zoai:inpec.econtents.bc.unicamp.br:article/16062Revistahttps://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/tscPUBhttps://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/tsc/oaitscnied@unicamp.br2318-88392318-8839opendoar:2022-05-31T16:55:12Tecnologias, Sociedade e Conhecimento - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
