Proposal for the management of digital tools in university contexts Propuesta para el manejo de herramientas digitales en contextos universitarios

Abstract

Digital tools have a demanding role, since the pandemic, they have become important for the academic training process because they have become the indispensable means of communication for the teaching and learning process. Virtual education takes on the challenge of reaching the entire academic community through tools that facilitate learning and that are ready for synchronous and asynchronous meetings with students. For the students of the Faculty of Distance Studies, the project sought to reach students through a program that develops Technological Competencies in teachers of the Faculty of Distance Studies of the Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia. The research made a projective study, with a mixed descriptive approach, the population is represented with an intentional sample of 16 teachers and 80 students, which shows a total of 96 participants.

The research used a Likert scale questionnaire, in turn a domain matrix for Technological Competencies proposed by the Ministry of National Education of Colombia. The research showed that the Technological Competencies demonstrated by teachers at the explorer level are unfavorable, at the integrative level it is neutral in the creation of virtual objects, and at the innovative level it is neutral in the use, while the students show a neutral and favorable technological ability, access to information and social attitude, among others. Therefore, a program with three modules was proposed for the use of technological tools.
