Techno education in the context of active methodologies

Abstract

Techno education or also called digital pedagogy, focuses on collaboratively developing concepts, practices and ideas associated with academic innovation with technological support focused on the development of active methodologies. It is important to distinguish between cooperation and collaboration, which is a term that is often used synonymously; According to Soto and Torres (2016), in reference to this he points out:

An important aspect that distinguishes collaborative from cooperative work is that the role of the teacher is more protagonist, leads the team or work group with greater leadership and ensures that students do their part to achieve a shared goal. On the other hand, in the collaborative approach, the teacher only acts as a facilitator and the group assumes the responsibility of carrying out the activities collectively and thus fulfilling its goals and objectives (pp. 2-3).

In relation to what is mentioned, the teacher's collaborative management must be immersed in active pedagogies that pursue learning based on practice and in learning environments led by constructivist, connectivist, socio-constructivist models; which are concretized by the active methodologies that define the precise ways of facilitating student learning.
