Educando para la ciudadanía global a través de las tecnologías. Análisis de una experiencia de formación de futuros docentes

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a research process developed in a project focused on improving university teaching in technologies in Education studies from an approach based on Education for Critical Global Citizenship. Through a qualitative research process, in which each teacher is accompanied by a «critical friend», data from the whole process has been collected and analysed. The training experience was developed in the subject «ICTs applied to education» in the Infant Education degree, where students are encouraged to produce a transmedia narrative to denounce a relevant social problem. The results show the level of significance that each student gave to the subjects studied within the framework of their initial training and the main facilitators and barriers they faced during the development of their work. Following analysis of these findings, lines of work for introducing both pedagogical and methodological improvements in class have been identified as well as the need to continue working from a Critical Education approach which allows us to understand the world from this perspective and view the work of teachers as that of an intellectual committed to social change.
