LAS TECNOLOGÍAS DE LA INFORMACIÓN Y LAS COMUNICACIONES EN LA FORMACIÓN DE INGENIEROS EN TELECOMUNICACIONES Y NET WORKING

Abstract

The following article is related to the use of Information and Communication Technologies. On this basis, these mean in the contemporaneity a notable challenge in the university education and in particular to the training of engineers in telecommunications and networking. For this, it is necessary to go from a one-way training model, where knowledge usually falls to the teacher, to more open and flexible models, where information located in large databases tends to be shared among different students. Hence, the need to resize the functions and objectives of the training process and therefore the rethinking of the categories and laws or didactic regularities that explain it. In line with this, the pedagogical foundations of virtual education based on the potential of Information Technology and Communications are addressed. Likewise, a didactic model is offered in response to the demands of the world of the future. In this sense, it deepens in the didactic principles and regularities that characterize this process. The foregoing brings as results the systemic analysis of the process of training engineers in telecommunications with the use of Information and Communication Technologies and the effects beyond the pedagogical and learning conception. Therefore, the reflection on these should be oriented in two senses: epistemological reflection and pragmatic reflection.
