Resolución de problemas con tecnología en un ambiente de aprendizaje colaborativo wiki en la educación media

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to characterize the procedure performed by high school students to solve problems using technology in a collaborative wiki-supported learning environment. Action research was used as the methodology. Ten eleventh-grade students from a public educational institution in the municipality of Ciudad Bolivar, Antioquia, Colombia, participated. The results show that recognition of the context is necessary to propose hypotheses for a solution. The conclusions affirm that when students apply the stages of problem identification, information research and selection, hypotheses formulation, hypothesis execution, and solution assessment, they are more likely to find a solution that responds to the initial problem.
