Computer sciences: ¿a challenge for decolonial thinking?
Keywords:
computer sciences, globalization, decolonial thinkingAbstract
A strong impact on human beings’ lives is evident due to the fast growth of knowledge production in computer science, innovation and technological adaptation. In this scenario, technology generated primarily comes from sites with a high degree of development based on production, such as the United States, Europe and some Asian countries, without ignoring the rest of the world production. Developing countries merely consume this technology production, expressing colonization environments because of their technological dependence. Thus this reflection article works on the findings of a preliminary research into the specific didactics for a software design from an international perspective and its relationship with decolonial thinking. As a conclusion it can be said that the position of decolonial thinking is applicable in some scenarios at the academy for computer sciences.
