La llegada de las nuevas tecnologías a la educación y sus implicaciones

Abstract

In recent decades we have observed a process of integrating new technologies into education. The arrival of ICT in the classroom has brought with it certain advantages, but also some inconveniences that force us to question ourselves about the relationship between the incorporation of new technologies and the improvement of educational quality.Therefore, the integration of new technologies into education has resulted in changes in the curriculum, in schools and their facilities, in the roles of students and teachers, etc. However, the current reality of the classrooms shows that most of the new technologies have involved a technological innovation (use of projectors, virtual platforms, resources and teaching materials, etc.), but has not been accompanied by a pedagogical innovation.However, the most relevant consequence of the process of integrating ICTs into classrooms and which still constitutes a pending subject for our education is the possibility of launching educational innovations, leading to a constructivist, active, collaborative and personalized teaching-learning process. A teaching-learning process designed, tutored, mediated, guided and evaluated by teachers, but whose main protagonist is the student.
