Technologies, Learning and Cognitive Models

The progressive increase in the use of multimedia and interactive platforms, including the world of social media, of mobile devices, which affects the new generations, must be considered. In particular, the prospect of integrating technologies into learning and teaching processes is not possible. In this paper, we intend to describe a research that has been done in this sense and develop the reflections it has aroused. In articulate this paper describes an experiment of introduction of software tools and technologies inspired by the principles of educational robotics to improve the learning level of middle school students. The research that is structured and implemented has as its central theme the use of technology to support learning-teaching processes. In particular, the central theme is how technological development strongly characterizes every section of people's lives. If technology enters the learning-teaching processes, it is certainly necessary to evaluate the problems and the potential to add value. In summary, the theme is to integrate technologies that are already pervading people's lives, in learning-teaching processes in formal teaching contexts. For the world of education in formal environments, we want to define how it is possible to establish a virtuous circle that begins with the training of teachers for the design and implementation of effective and virtuous processes from a cognitive point of view. The research has shown that the effective use of technologies in learning teaching processes is possible and that technology can be a transversal, technological and methodological competence.
