Connectivism and ICT: A paradigm that impacts the teaching-learning process

Abstract

The article is the result of a task of the Research Group in education and technology, developed at the National University of Education of Ecuador (UNAE), specifically of the Research Line Technology and Educational Innovation, of the research group in Education and Technology (GIET); The article demonstrates the didactic foundations of the use of ICT in the teaching-learning process; Theoretical positions are assumed that allow us to grasp the essential elements of connectivism as a pedagogical approach to the use of ICT in the teaching-learning process. In this work, different conceptions about learning are analyzed and a proposal based on connectivism and activity theory is presented. A model of the influence of connectivism for the use of ICT in the teaching-learning process is proposed, in which new relationships are established between the elements that make up the connectivism and the categories of the developer-learning teaching process, within the framework of good living, as well as, that the new features that characterize the model are described and defined as the resulting quality between the relationships of the components of the pedagogical model of Entrepreneurial Learning.
