Learning in environments such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and its variations have become a turning point in the design and range of university courses offered, although there is some difficulty in transforming their pedagogical discourse. Additionally, flexible and skillful faculty are required to respond to the diversity and continuous social changes to ensure quality teaching. Understanding the transformations that emerge from the innovative experiences supported by these new learning environments requires an understanding of the faculty who perform them as well as their previous experiences, because it is they who interpret, filter and redefine the proposed changes. Using a pedagogical discourse-based approach, this paper analyzes the backgrounds of the faculty who participate in MOOCs, Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs) or other projects, and interprets the factors that influence their understanding of the practices in these environments. We have found that despite the ignorance of the pedagogical issues of the MOOC phenomenon, faculty with traditional beliefs are compelled to transform their practices using this kind of course design. However, their interests are more focused on the social value of learning by promoting their research areas in an entertaining way, than on the pedagogical value of online education through innovating their practices.
Se analiza la presencia de un rasgo de las innovaciones en la enseñanza contemporánea de las ciencias con la utilización del concepto «química en contexto» a partir del enfoque de Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad aplicado a esta enseñanza. Se trata de un subestudio de otro más amplio sobre prácticas innovadoras, su identificación y caracterización. Se utilizó una metodología basada en entrevistas semiestructuradas a 6 innovadores seleccionados de un grupo de 29. Se realizó una triangulación entre codificadores y se generó un informe. Entre los resultados se identifican prácticas innovadoras donde se recoge un variado elenco de actividades para contextualizar la ense˜nanza de la química. En algunos casos se trata de verdaderos problemas de investigación centrados en lo cotidiano. Se valora el carácter innovador de estas prácticas en los centros y su permanencia y futuro.The presence of a feature of contemporary innovations in science education using the concept ‘‘Chemistry in Context’’ from the approach Science, Technology and Society applied to this teaching is analyzed. This is a sub-study from a larger one about innovative practices, its identification and characterization. A methodology based on 6 semi-structured interviews to innovative teachers selected from a group of 29 was used. Triangulation between coders was done and a report was generated. Innovative practices with a varied range of activities to contextualize the teaching of chemistry are identified. Some of them are real problems of research focused on the daily basis. Their innovative nature and permanence and the future of these practices at schools are valued
En este artículo se analizan narrativas relacionadas con el papel de la motivación que el uso de las TIC trae a la formación de gestores medioambientales. Se construyeron casos donde para recoger los datos se utilizó entrevistas y aplicación de cuestionarios. Se hizo la interpretación de los datos con técnicas de Análisis de Contenido y la inclusión de una herramienta de mapas conceptuales. Se hizo evidente que las TIC se utilizan de manera general, inespecífica y poco organizada por profesores y estudiantes. Los docentes presentan formas de integración y usos diferentes: expositivos, banco de recursos, colaborativos, teniendo mayor presencia los primeros. Sin embargo, los resultados apuntan a que no hay consenso entre los participantes sobre la motivación que el uso de las TIC aporta a la formación de profesorado en Educación Ambiental y que ello es debido a las narrativas que se generan.
