La integración de las “nuevas” tecnologías a la enseñanza. Experiencias formativas docentes en escuelas secundarias de Río Negro

Abstract

The article intends to describe a training experience of teachers in high schools that are part of the Programa Conectar Igualdad (Equality in Connectivity Program). Agents at schools worked together during two months in debate workshops, methodology revisions for the pedagogic and didactic planning of projects and didactic sequences with new technologies. At the same time, technical exploration of ICT was promoted to include ICT not only in the curricula (transversely and across knowledge areas) but also in daily teaching. The school, where teachers work every day, was the place chosen to create a space for training. The debate/reflection among partners in each workshop showed that innovations in education are most important when they are in direct relation to the practice and to the school, as they allow for multiple opportunities for the job and contribute in debunking methods that operate and hinder processes of change. In this article, and based on the experience at schools, we came to the conclusion that, for the national and local planning –and for the administration of scholar institutions–, it is still a political and pedagogical challenge to achieve a better questioning (and realization) of the teaching practices in contexts where ICT, resources and their didactic directives are included.
