University student evaluation towards the development of ICT teaching-learning initiatives

Abstract

This research focuses on the assessment of the student for the development of teaching-learning initiatives mediated by ICT. Based on a mixed method design, we start with a quantitative methodology focused on the descriptive study on the attitudes, knowledge and academic use of ICT in students of the Degree in Early Childhood Education of the University of Jaén. The learning experience focuses on the design, development and publication of a mini-video as an instrument for the exhibition of one of the practical activities proposed in the subject "General Didactics in Early Childhood Education". For the qualitative study, it is proposed to hold discussion groups among members of the different work groups. The analysis of the narrative in the discussion groups has made it possible to verify how the realization of mini-videos reinforces the concept of group work, the acquisition of strategies for the organization and preparation of the oral presentation, as well as for the use of ICT, the time that favors the learning and assimilation of the contents. However, the students involved criticize deficiencies in the development of their communicative or technological skills, establishing the practice of training activities as proposals for improvement.
