Innovación educativa a través de tecnologías de la información y comunicación: estudio de caso en un curso de investigación formativa

Abstract

This research describes educational innovation through information and communication technologies and proposes a case study in a formative research course where the Covid-19 pandemic led to the need to rethink the entire teaching-learning process. The research was of the non-experimental type with a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) and a descriptive scope. The analyzed course was taught in person and at the beginning of the pandemic it became a virtual course where the class was developed through Zoom and with the support of an educational platform in Canvas. However, the course has been redesigned to be carried out in an asynchronous modality, where the teacher fulfills a function of accompaniment and virtual advice. Likewise, the course has included gamification strategies where the student can obtain badges depending on their progress. In conclusion, it has been possible to demonstrate how information and communication technologies facilitate educational innovation for a correct design and implementation of virtual learning environments.
