Análisis de la percepción de los docentes sobre el aprendizaje mediado por el uso de dispositivos tecnológicos en el aula de clase, en un colegio privado de Bogotá

Abstract

The perception of the teachers of a private school, about the learning process of their students when the activities in class are mediated by technological devices, is analyzed in this paper. This qualitative, descriptive and inductive investigation was conducted in Bogotá, Colombia during 2017. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, a survey and 120 minutes focal group was carried out, which 11 teachers from different areas, ages and experience was interviewed for 120 minutes. It was concluded that learning is a process that requires the linking of disciplinary, motivational, group and individual aspects. The role of technological devices as part of the class dynamics may, depending on the participants, facilitate aspects such as visual memory, dynamics group and understanding of the academic contents. However, the participants also recognized that technology may saturate information to the students and vitiate the educationalprocesses; justifying that without an adequate method they would work against institutional interests.
