Abstract

Mapping the Situation of Educational Technologies in the Spanish University System Using Social Network Analysis and Visualization

Highlights

  • SINCE early 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic in Spain and its evolution have led to the adoption of extraordinary containment measures imposed by the national government, the 17 regional governments, and each university Rectors office, with regard to the suspension of face-to-face academic activity and/or its maintenance in distance mode, for all centers of primary, secondary and higher education.The role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in every social sector has clearly grown in impact on the educational system and current approaches to education, whether formal or other means of training

  • This section is devoted to analysis of the two situation maps of Educational Technologies (EdTech) in the Spanish University System (SUS), as well as the extraction of knowledge from each one of them

  • This information makes it possible to study, in detail, the relations existing between the different thematic blocks of technologies from the perspective of their adoption by the different universities and of the relationships between the different universities with respect to the application of different technologies

Introduction

SINCE early 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic in Spain and its evolution have led to the adoption of extraordinary containment measures imposed by the national government, the 17 regional governments, and each university Rectors office, with regard to the suspension of face-to-face academic activity and/or its maintenance in distance mode, for all centers of primary, secondary and higher education.The role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in every social sector has clearly grown in impact on the educational system and current approaches to education, whether formal (primary education, high schools, universities) or other means of training (business and lifelong education at home). When directly related to teaching innovation, such concepts translate as the use of multimedia technologies and the Internet to improve the quality of teaching and learning, facilitating access to resources and services, while promoting collaboration and knowledge. Novel teaching methodologies include the flipped classroom [17] and SPOC courses, personalized learning based on learning analytics [18], [19], new “disaggregated” educational formats such as MOOC courses [20], [21], the use of mobile devices, physical spaces for teaching as the Makerspaces, and methods of certification as Blockchain. These are just some examples of the great variety of methods and techniques that comprise EdTech
