This chapter is based on the results of the investigation:

“Teaching practices of university teachers analyzed from the perspective of the impact of technologies on knowledge"

in the framework of

"A New Agenda for Didactics"

Faculty of Philosophy and Letters

University of Buenos Aires

2. Virtual tutorials

3. Virtual communities for collaborative projects

4. Use of internet networks for teaching

5. Searching information on internet: - papers

- academic articles

- virtual libraries

2. REASONS

6. Use of technological tools:

- e-mail - chat - social groups - blogs - thematic forums - webpages - electronic journals - interactive museums - portfolios

3. TIME

Virtual: ephemeral, fleeting, timeless, simultaneous, immeasurable, unpredictable

CHALLENGE:the notion of virtual environment poses the challenge of thinking in spatial learning beyond the classroom walls.

5. KNOWLEDGE

INFORMATION ≠ KNOWLEDGE

INFORMATION:a collection of unrelated facts, numbers or data

KNOWLEDGE: the result of cognitive activity necessary to transform, contextualize and select relevant information in an idiosyncratic way, within the framework of disciplines or professional practices, which make them meaningful

5. KNOWLEDGE

EXCESS OF INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET

CHALLENGE:develop categories and criteria for selecting relevant information concerning each specific discipline

6. TECHNOLOGICAL DISCOURSES

• TECHNOLOGY IS CONCEIVED WITHOUT A CONNECTION WITH POLITICAL, SOCIAL, COMMUNICATIONAL AND PEDAGOGICAL PROJECTS.

• THIS DISCOURSE IS CHARACTERIZED BY A TECHNOLOGICAL TROPISM.

• DISTECHNIFY THIS SPEECH REPRESENTS A PEDAGOGICAL IMPERATIVE, SO THAT TECHNOLOGIES BE INCORPORATED INTO SOCIOCULTURAL, POLITICAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS

7. CHALLENGE

• TECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS SHOULD BE SELECTED AND

INCORPORATED INTO THE CLASSROOM IN ACCORDANCE WITH:

- THE FIELD OF THE DISCIPLINE TO BE STUDIED

- THE PROJECT TO BE ACCOMPLISHED

- THE COGNITIVE PROCESSES TO BE PROMOTED

- THE SPECIFIC EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND CLASSES

WHICH CONTEXUALIZED THEM
