Ferramentas cognitivas, ambientes modificadores, medição e construção do conhecimento: potencializando a cognição do sujeito social na perspectiva do aprender

Abstract

Presents cognitive tools capable of providing human cognitive modifiability, that is, mental flexibility and plasticity, through mediation established between social actions and individual or collective motivations. This is a literature review that discusses, in the context of the information society and the influence of information and communication technologies, the theories of cognitive flexibility. Also contextualizes the conceptual maps as schematic resources to represent knowledge, within a propositions framework and as content crawlers. Concludes that cognitive tools, in certain modifying environments, mediated by trained professionals, can promote the construction and socialization of knowledge, when enhancing the cognition of the subjects, who, in their subjectivity, organize the world in concentric circles and promote actions that affect the context and get affected by it.
