Las TIC han generado nuevas posibilidades en la enseñanza de las ciencias, pero su integración efectiva en el aula supone un reto, lo que pone de manifiesto la importancia del desarrollo competencial digital de los docentes. Con el fin de conocer la incorporación de las TIC en la enseñanza de las ciencias en el ámbito educativo español, se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica en seis revistas de Didáctica de las Ciencias Experimentales de reconocido prestigio. Los resultados muestran que en el periodo de marzo de 1983 a diciembre de 2019 se han publicado 202 artículos TIC. El análisis y categorización de estas publicaciones permite concluir aportes significativos en áreas como la pedagogía digital, el compromiso profesional y los recursos digitales; aunque también se evidencia que se requiere mayor atención en relación con la evaluación y promoción de la competencia digital de los estudiantes.
Schools, as in the case of other organizations, face complex challenges due to generational phenomena. In addition to an increasingly aging teaching workforce, schools are becoming more age-diverse, with coexisting multiple generations. Two consequences of this situation are the declining availability of relevant and critical knowledge for schools as teachers retire and the difficulties associated with maintaining professional relationships among teachers of different generations. These challenges have highlighted the significance of understanding the relevance of generations of teachers and identifying ways to build on generational diversity. Specifically, intergenerational collaboration and learning are needed to meet these challenges. Accordingly, this study aims to (1) examine generational diversity among teachers, (2) inquire into their interactions and the learning processes accompanying collaborative experiences in professional development, and (3) explore how these experiences and processes can enhance professional learning and practice. To this end, an exploratory mixed methods research project is conducted, comprising a multiphase design with two exploratory sequential studies (QUAL→quan). The participants are a sample of beginner, veteran, and retired teachers from Spain’s publicly funded schools. In the qualitative strands of the study, data collection techniques comprise focus groups and semi-structured in-depth interviews followed by thematic analysis. In the quantitative strands, questionnaires (a multidimensional scale and a survey experiment) are the major data sources, which are subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical (factor and conjoint) analyses. The focus is primarily on the qualitative strands.
The introduction of digital information and communication technologies has influenced many aspects of the teaching profession. In addition to their changing use in the classroom, these technologies have strongly impacted the work and professional development of teachers. In this study, which was framed within the R+D+i project DePrInEd, we analyzed the perceptions, beliefs, opinions, and attitudes of teachers on this subject. We conducted a qualitative study through interviews, with a thematic analysis addressing the duality of technology and change. The results indicated that these produced benefits and created difficulties in the teaching task, with the latter being more demanding. Teachers stated that one of the main difficulties they encountered was related to the evolution of students as a result of technology, both in the school and social contexts. This highlights the risk that its extensive use did not lead to the acquisition of other key competencies, including digital and media competencies, in the school environment. Finally, other dimensions that impacted the corporate intelligence of educational centers included the continuous adaptation and mastery of digital competence required by teachers regarding the changes in their tasks, as well as the excessive bureaucratization that technologies have necessitated.
Inve s tIg a cIó n dIdá ctIca Elaboración de trabajos de indagación escolar usando herramientas de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación: una propuesta didáctica Juan José Marrero Galván pp. 35-48 Universidad de La Laguna* RESUMEN: En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta didáctica para estudiantes de secundaria basada en el uso educativo de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación; proponiendo al alumnado la realización de un trabajo de indagación escolar mediante una secuencia de actividades planificadas para tal fin. La metodología utilizada y la aplicación de herramientas colaborativas para el tratamiento y gestión de la información le confiere un diseño curricular diferente al tradicional.
Teachers often use analogies to introduce unfamiliar or complex concepts. However, several studies have found that their knowledge on how to use them is limited or superficial. Similarly, the integration of technological resources in the teaching-learning processes is not always carried out efficiently, which evidences the need to improve teachers' digital competence. This paper provides a formative sequence on the use of analogies in teaching through mediation of technological resources, implemented in the context of the initial training of secondary education teachers. The results show a positive assessment by the students, a change in their perceptions on the subject and some progress in their classroom proposal designs. The conclusion is that it is necessary to train future teachers to deal with common teaching problems in a reflective, comprehensive and innovative way, which will undoubtedly be one of the challenges of education in the 21st century.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
