ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGY POSSIBILITIES TO INNOVATE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE
Active methodologies; Digital information and communication technologies; Teacher training
Educational process is being modified by digital technologies. Students and teachers are directly affected by a revolution that encompasses all human activities. Not only are new technologies used for learning as new pedagogical practices are available so that the student may be prepared for a world that requires new skills and abilities. Active methodology is one of those new practices that can be used. Such use can be enhanced by digital technologies already available, but many teachers are unaware of them. It is fundamental, therefore, for the teachers to know and be prepared to use technological resources that support active methodologies as a learning practice. In this way, the objective of this dissertation is to create an ontology that relates active learning methods with digital information and communication technologies. That ontology will allow teachers to identify which method may be applied according to their intention in the context of the most used active methodologies. In order to develop the research, a bibliographical survey was carried out and four commonly used methodologies were identified. From that point, the ontology that relates these methodologies with digital technology of information and communication available will be defined and there will be two teacher trainings in order to validate it. Finally, an app that performs recommendations of technological resources is being developed.
