“…In fact, many institutions and governments have developed strategies in order to integrate ICT with pedagogical methods [6,7]. In this context, the adaptation of pedagogical systems and the incorporation of ICT innovations are essential to the survival of many educational institutions [8,9]. Nevertheless, the involvement of three factors is required in order to achieve efficient and effective use of ICT for educational purposes [10]: (1) the academic community; (2) educational structures; and (3) legislation.…”

This study focuses on students’ behavioral intention to use Open Source Software (OSS). The article examines how students, who were trained in OSS, are motivated to continue using it. A conceptual model based on Self-Determination Theory and the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) was defined in order to test the behavioral intention to use OSS, comprising six constructs: (1) autonomy, (2) competence, (3) relatedness, (4) perceived ease of use, (5) perceived usefulness and (6) behavioral intention to use. A survey was designed for data collection. The participants were recent secondary school graduates, and all of them had received mandatory OSS training. A total of 352 valid responses were used to test the proposed structural model, which was performed using the Lisrel software. The results clearly confirmed the positive influence of the intrinsic motivations; autonomy and relatedness, to improve perceptions regarding the usefulness and ease of use of OSS, and; therefore, on behavioral intention to use OSS. In addition, the implications and limitations of this study are considered.

“…Los denominados nativos digitales, de por sí ya es costumbre para ellos convivir con la tecnología; pero a su vez, los cambios en el campo tecnológico son tan raudos que, si dicho grupo no se preparan para hacerlo frente, pronto sucumbirán ante tal ineluctable avance, volviéndose por ende obsoletos, (Picatoste et al, 2018) y ello no es producto de un vaticinio negativo, sino que es preclaro concebir tal escenario en función de los trascendentales cambios de las nuevas tecnologías y su repercusión a diversos niveles clave. Por lo manifestado, existe la necesidad imperativa de una formación continua y la necesidad de instituciones y empresas de promover cursos de formación para sus empleados si es que queremos como nación no hacer frente ante tan dantesca ola de cambios, sino navegar sobre la misma y correr a la par.…”

“…La incorporación en la enseñanza de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicación o TICS en las universidades dentro del plan de las mallas curriculares, como tema transversal de formación, es en sí un elevado desafío, de arduo difícil trabajo; pero muy necesario para preparar a los estudiantes para el éxito en el mercado laboral (Picatoste et al, 2018); ya que los resultados indican que la formación informal en las TICs favorece el empleo y la formación en gestión informática, por lo que Ivars, Celdrán, Mazón y Perles (2017) lo remarcaron al mencionar la necesidad de gestionar y proporcionar canales de auto entrenamiento o entrenamiento personal formal, de preferencia, para ajustarse a las necesidades y disponibilidad laboral futura debido a los cambios continuos en las economías y los mercados globales.…”

Las competencias digitales en el quehacer de la educación superior es un campo muy fecundo que está en constante desarrollo debido a la adecuación de los docentes frente a la demanda de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación y su impacto en el campo educacional. El presente artículo aborda el panorama actual y su dinámica frente a los requerimientos que el docente deberá de desarrollar y las perspectivas de la universidad y los estudiantes. Por otro lado, se aborda la perspectiva de las nuevas tendencias en relación con el panorama los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje y su vinculación en la educación universitaria. Se presenta, además, una discusión final sobre las posibilidades del desarrollo de las competencias en el quehacer académico superior.

“…2,3 Human society needs to consider, based on social planning and a global perspective, the use of new technologies to achieve sustainable development. 4,5 Similarly, companies or governments with the goal of allocating investments in product and process innovations, all of which seem attractive, may prefer to invest in those that are more likely to make faster progress. Investing in research and development for a product that employs new technologies is a challenging issue for businesses and governments especially at the critical time of deciding the degree of resource allocation, if any.…”

Prospecting technologies for photovoltaic solar energy: Overview of its technical‐commercial viability

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

There are many technologies that may emerge and eventually disappear over the years. This fact makes the monitoring of technological trends as well as the anticipation of the direction of technological change paramount. This article aims to carry out the prospection of technologies, focusing on its technicalcommercial viability, for solar photovoltaic energy. The research method had a qualititative-quantitative approach with application of the Delphi technique. In the conduction of the Delphi technique, seven steps were followed, ranging from the selection of the specialists to the considerations of their opinions regarding the future of nine photovoltaic technologies. The results of the research indicate that in 2020, the cells monocrystalline, multicrystalline, and amorphous silicon; cadmium telluride; indium/copper selenide, indium, and gallium diselenide; and multicompound III-V cells will have technical and commercial viability and that dye-sensitized silicon nanowire and carbon nanostructure-based cells will not be viable. For the year 2025, monocrystalline and multicrystalline silicon cells and those of multicompounds III-V will still be technically and commercially viable. Silicon nanowire; amorphous silicon; cadmium telluride; indium/copper, selenium, and gallium diselenide dyesensitized cells; and organic photovoltaic cells, including those based on carbon nanostructure, may be viable. This study is important, because the technological prospecting of the photovoltaic cells determines the possible trajectories of these cells, in a way that helps the companies of the sector to anticipate the strategic scenarios, thus facilitating the decision making process.
