The research is based on a qualitative, bibliographical approach, guided by historical-dialectical materialism, understanding education and technology as historically situated social practices, traversed by economic, political, and cultural determinants. It starts from the problematization that the incorporation of digital technologies in formative processes has been frequently associated with educational innovation, but marked by an instrumental perspective, focused on adapting individuals to the demands of the labor market. The theoretical framework articulates the contributions of Freire (1996), Saviani (2024), Frigotto (2018), Ciavatta (2012), and Kuenzer (2007), who defend a conception of education committed to human emancipation, social critique, and omnilateral formation. The results indicate that digital technologies have significant potential to enrich teaching and learning processes, expanding possibilities for access to information, pedagogical mediation, and knowledge construction. However, important limitations are evident when these technologies are used uncritically, reinforcing the fragmentation of knowledge, the superficiality of learning, and the subordination of education to productive demands. It is concluded that the integration of digital technologies in vocational and technological education should be guided by a critical and contextualized perspective, committed to the holistic development of students and the construction of a more just and democratic society.pt-BRAttribution-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilEducação profissional e tecnológicaTecnologias digitaisFormação integradaEmancipação humanaPensamento complexotcc_especializacaoCIÊNCIAS HUMANAS
