Abstract: Title - Digital Technologies, Natural and Exact Sciences, Research and Teaching. This thematic axis aims to discuss the incorporation of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) in the educational field, with a specific focus on the disciplines of Natural Sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) and Exact Sciences (Mathematics and its Technologies), according to the guidelines of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC, BRAZIL, 2018). The increasing need to integrate DICTs into education, already foreseen in normative texts since 2010, was drastically intensified by the social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Educators and students were forced to integrate DICTs into teaching-learning processes quickly, often without adequate training. It is observed that, after the end of the pandemic emergency, there are still gaps and obstacles that prevent the complete and, above all, critical use of digital technologies. Critical appropriation transcends instrumental use; This requires an understanding of how digital tools can represent complex natural and mathematical phenomena, enabling virtual experimentation and the analysis of large volumes of data in the contexts of Science and Mathematics. This Thematic Axis aims to discuss and create teacher training experiences that integrate ICTs as effective instruments for active teaching and learning, overcoming challenges and fostering critical appropriation in disciplines that require logical-mathematical reasoning and scientific investigation.

Objectives
• To reflect on and analyze the transformations and challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on daily school life, especially in adapting investigative and conceptual practices (modeling, simulation) for remote teaching.
• Critically evaluate the effectiveness of teacher training courses, identifying limitations and advantages in preparing educators for the critical use of ICTs and considering the influence of factors such as class and generational differences on access to and mastery of technologies.
• To address and propose successful experiences in the use of ICTs that help overcome appropriation gaps, promoting the understanding of complex concepts and interdisciplinarity between the Natural and Exact Sciences.

Target Audience
Students pursuing undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology; teachers in the Basic Education Network (especially in the areas of Science and Mathematics); university professors; and graduate/undergraduate students in the areas of Natural Sciences, Exact Sciences, and Humanities (with an interest in educational technology).
