Tecnología en la enseñanza de Licenciatura en Derecho. Percepción de los docentes de la Facultad de Derecho Mazatlán

Abstract

As the legal profession begins to implement digital technology in the management of its services, more educational institutions that offer bachelor's degrees related to criminal sciences, such as Law, have included instruction with technology in their plans and study programs. The perspective of more lawyers with experience in digital tools is an advantage in offering legal services. New technologies, including the Internet, Web 2.0, multimedia, and social media, provide learning, teaching, and research opportunities for legal educators and students. In addition, they potentially streamline collaborations, sharing, and gathering information and feedback on relevant and essential topics. The benefits of computer-assisted instruction in legal education include a systematic approach, transparency, accountability, and innovative ways of communicating ideas through text and images. This paper aims to describe and analyze the use of digital technologies by teachers of the Law Degree of the Mazatlán Law School, of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa, in Mexico, in legal education. For this research, with a quantitative approach of a descriptive-cross-sectional method, a survey designed with 24 items in 3 categories, self-completed by 62 teachers, was applied. Among the main results, it was found that most study subjects consider the use of IT in the classroom necessary, but very few claims to have extensive knowledge of this technology.
