Technological Appropriation as the Axis in the Design of a Learning Experience in the Social Studies Major Degree

Abstract

Technological tools offer the teacher a wide range of options to streamline learning processes. However, the implementation of technologies in education per se, do not guarantee deep and dynamic learning. That is, the use of technologies requires a process of relevant pedagogical design, which determines how and when to incorporate technologies into the teaching process, as well as the type of learning that is expected to be achieved. The present paper systematizes some educational experiences with the objective of establishing a model of implementation of technologies for learning. The model proposes phases of implementation that include the identification and characterization of the different technological tools according to their educational qualities, design of the mediation activities and their implementation in class. Therefore it is intended to reflect on the challenges and opportunities of the use of technologies to generate relevant, critical and creative learning, according to the degree of technological appropriation of both teacher and student.
