Perfil docente ante el uso de tecnologías: implicancias para la práctica pedagógica

Abstract

INTRODUCTION. The use of technologies in university education raises the need to explore whether there is a teacher profile which is capable of recognizing various competencies related to the development of activities, strategies, and the use of technological support, essential for academic activities. Ongoing training, access to material resources, allows professors to acquire technological competence. This context raises questions about training, resources, and the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), aspects that often present difficulties and resistance in their implementation. OBJECTIVE.  To describe the teacher profile, the use of technologies, and the educational strategies applied by the teachers of the Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.  METHOD.

The use of digital tools as facilitators in the construction of learning indicates an evolution and a marked trend towards active and collaborative learning. Training, educating, and utilizing them are among the main educational challenges.
