Competencias en el uso de las Tecnologías para el Aprendizaje y el Conocimiento (TAC) a través de talleres híbridos en docentes de Ingeniería de la Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE, sede Santo Domingo

Abstract

This work arises from the prevailing need to strengthen skills in the use of Technologies for Learning and Knowledge (TAC) in higher education teachers who teach engineering courses. Due to this, the objective was set to strengthen competencies in the use of Technologies for Learning and Knowledge (TAC) in teachers of the Department of Computer Science of the University of the Armed Forces ESPE, Santo Domingo headquarters. This strengthening was achieved through the implementation of hybrid workshops that adjust to educational innovation trends and make use of emerging digital tools. In this research, a longitudinal quasi-experimental design was applied, which involved a population made up of 18 teachers belonging to the Department of Computer Science of the University of the Armed Forces ESPE. For this research, a search for information and theoretical references on TAC competencies and hybrid workshops was carried out. The development of the proposal was carried out in four stages: the first, which consisted of identifying the specific training needs in TAC competencies of teachers by applying a pretest and designing hybrid workshops based on those results. In the second stage, hybrid workshops are carried out where teachers had the opportunity to demonstrate the use of different TAC tools. In the third stage, we proceeded to apply what was learned during the workshop. The fourth stage involved the closing of the workshop with presentations about what was learned and the commitments after the intervention. Subsequently, a post-test was applied and the results revealed that the participating teachers strengthened their skills in the use of Technologies for Learning and Knowledge (TAC). Finally, the conclusions highlight the significant improvements in the TAC competencies of the participating teachers.
