Enseñanza en ingeniería de manera colaborativa a partir de un diseño tecnopedagógico, usando SMILE

Abstract

This study presents the results of an investigative process that concentrates its actions on how to perform a teaching that enhances the understanding of the content presented. This is supported by an inquiry strategy to meet the educational needs found in the context. This study uses the SMILE platform. SMILE's design and functionality allows building questions and answers individually and in groups, which enhances collaboration between students. The methodology is qualitative and quantitative. The Action Research supported the construction of the activities by the technique of content analysis, observation, and quantitative evaluation that was supported by statistical techniques. The design of the SMILE platform enabled the critical evaluation of individual and collective constructions. Students were recognized as active and participatory agents. In conclusion, the techno-pedagogical design contributed to the teachers' intentions of promoting self-learning and self-management knowledge in students.
