Dimensiones del empoderamiento digital y currículo para el sector universitario

Abstract

In this article two dimensions of digital empowerment related to digital equity and employability are analyzed within the Colombian higher education sector, specifically at the University of La Guajira. Under a descriptive and transactional methodology and employing a case study research design, a data collection instrument was made and applied to a sample of 125 teachers. The results show a clear backwardness in the possibilities for accessing technologies of information and communication in equity conditions, which certainly will affect employability levels of the future professional workers. As a consequence, conclusions regarding curriculum reorientations are proposed for this sector for overcoming the identified difficulties. The conclusions also highlight that teachers' training for the pedagogical use of these technologies must continue and that students must receive appropriate support for their real digital empowerment.
