    MuƱoz-Barahona, Regner
    La sociedad se encuentra en una transiciĆ³n sociocultural provocando la aceleraciĆ³n del desarrollo de habilidades tecnolĆ³gicas. La pandemia por covid-19 y post pandemia generĆ³ nuevos escenarios educativos en el mundo. Desarrollar Habilidades tecnolĆ³gicas es lo que permite al estudiante desenvolverse de manera eficaz en los nuevos contextos de aprendizaje. Esta investigaciĆ³n tuvo como objetivo analizar las habilidades tecnolĆ³gicas para el aprendizaje (HTPA) que posee el estudiante de 6.Āŗ aƱo de primaria y 2.Āŗ aƱo de secundaria para establecer relaciones entre la percepciĆ³n sobre htpa, el tipo de establecimiento, el nivel educativo y el desarrollo de actividades prĆ”cticas mediante dichas habilidades. El enfoque es cuantitativo, no experimental, descriptivo-correlacional. Los instrumentos fueron aplicados a una muestra de 665 estudiantes. Se aplicĆ³ un cuestionario que evaluĆ³ la percepciĆ³n que tiene el estudiante respecto de sus htpa, y una actividad prĆ”ctica para demostrar habilidades tecnolĆ³gicas en un Entorno Virtual de Aprendizaje (EVA). Ambos instrumentos fueron creados con las siguientes dimensiones: InformaciĆ³n, ComunicaciĆ³n y ColaboraciĆ³n, Convivencia Digital y TecnolĆ³gica. Los principales resultados indican que los estudiantes tienen diferentes percepciones y que algunas no son coherentes con las acciones prĆ”cticas realizadas.

    Sociological importance and validation of a questionnaire for the sustainability of personal learning environments (PLE) in 8th grade students of the Biobio Region in Chile
    Contemporary society is going through a cultural transition that leads to new conceptions about the ways in which human beings organize socially and communicate. This process of deep social and cultural transformations is characterized by a technological disruption, in which virtuality forms a new dimension that behaves as an extension of human intelligence. This new form of human interaction impacts on the social imagination, demanding one to rethink social and educational paradigms for the two-dimensional citizen. In this context, this research article describes the sociological importance and the process of social adaptation of users to a personal learning environment (PLE). It includes the validation process of an instrument for the study of the PLE of 8th grade students belonging to 15 schools in the BiobĆ­o Region of Chile. A PLE is a frame of reference that can help to understand how two-dimensional citizens socially adapt and influence the sustainability of local and global systems. The validation method for this instrument considered four stages: i) Expert judgment: considering the opinions of six educators and experts in information and communication technologies (ICT); ii) a pilot test: that included a non-probabilistic sample of 472 subjects; iii) a principal components analysis (PCA); and iv) a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The Questionnaire on Work Habits and Learning for Professional Futures and the Context Questionnaire SIMCE TIC were used as a reference. When performing a psychometric analysis, a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.89 was obtained. This confirms that the adaptation of the instrument is good. The results of the dimensional analysis help us define a structure for the new instrument considering three components that explain 55% of the total variance. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed adjustment indexes that support the theoretical model proposed for the PLE study. In conclusion, the instrument was composed of three latent variables: Open self-regulated learning (OSRL) with eight questions, information management (IM) with four questions, and creation and transfer of knowledge (CTK) with four questions

    ValidaciĆ³n de un modelo para evaluar competencias TIC de profesores en contextos educativos de Chile
    (Universidad de AlmerĆ­a, 2023) ; ;
    Prats-FernƔndez, Miquel
    En la actual transiciĆ³n cultural, una de las necesidades emergente de los profesores es el uso educativo competente de TecnologĆ­as de la InformaciĆ³n y ComunicaciĆ³n (TIC). Este artĆ­culo da a conocer el resultado de la validaciĆ³n piloto de un modelo que permite evaluar Competencias TIC de profesores en contexto educativos. Sobre la base de la metodologĆ­a cuantitativa, se aplicaron instrumentos para la validaciĆ³n de expertos y de usuarios. Para la validaciĆ³n teĆ³rica del modelo y de la matriz, participaron 10 expertos quienes analizaron la propuesta a travĆ©s de un cuestionario y, para la validaciĆ³n prĆ”ctica a nivel de usuario, participĆ³ una muestra piloto de 20 profesores, a quienes se les aplicĆ³ una pauta de observaciĆ³n, la cual permitiĆ³ registrar sus acciones respecto de la competencia TIC en contexto. Los anĆ”lisis demostraron que la matriz cumple con los elementos esenciales y que permite evaluar las competencias TIC de los profesores en sus contextos reales de trabajo cotidiano, tanto teĆ³rica como empĆ­ricamente. AdemĆ”s, quedo evidenciado que los profesores tienen un bajo dominio de integraciĆ³n de estas y, son utilizadas para apoyar la enseƱanza y no el aprendizaje de los estudiantes.

    Quality assurance for postgraduate programs: Design of a model applied on a University in Chile

    The quality of Education in Chile is a controversial topic that has been in the public debate in the last several years. To ensure quality in graduate programs, accreditation is compulsory. The current article presents a model to improve the process of self-regulation. The main objective was to design a Model of Quality Assurance for Postgraduate Programs in order to constitute a theoretical, mathematical, and informatics reference that would optimize the processes of self-regulation, self-evaluation, and accreditation of master and doctorate programs from the Universidad CatĆ³lica de la SantĆ­sima ConcepciĆ³n, Chile. This descriptive research is based on a mixed methods approach. The proposal was intended through theoretical and empirical references related to the accreditation systems. The analysis process was conducted with key informants, and the informatics instrument was created and validated through expert judgment. After the analysis, the model was optimized considering the expertā€™s suggestions. As a result of the optimization process, a matrix of eight dimensions was obtained and it is available online in order to be used by the heads of postgraduate programs. Finally, a model with four main stages was achieved in order to install a self-regulation and a self-evaluated culture that leads to accreditation as evidence of the quality of postgraduate programs.
