Digital technologies have brought changes to the nature and scope of education and led education systems worldwide to adopt strategies and policies for ICT integration. The latter brought about issues regarding the quality of teaching and learning with ICTs, especially concerning the understanding, adaptation, and design of the education systems in accordance with current technological trends. These issues were emphasized during the recent COVID-19 pandemic that accelerated the use of digital technologies in education, generating questions regarding digitalization in schools. Specifically, many schools demonstrated a lack of experience and low digital capacity, which resulted in widening gaps, inequalities, and learning losses. Such results have engendered the need for schools to learn and build upon the experience to enhance their digital capacity and preparedness, increase their digitalization levels, and achieve a successful digital transformation. Given that the integration of digital technologies is a complex and continuous process that impacts different actors within the school ecosystem, there is a need to show how these impacts are interconnected and identify the factors that can encourage an effective and efficient change in the school environments. For this purpose, we conducted a non-systematic literature review. The results of the literature review were organized thematically based on the evidence presented about the impact of digital technology on education and the factors that affect the schools’ digital capacity and digital transformation. The findings suggest that ICT integration in schools impacts more than just students’ performance; it affects several other school-related aspects and stakeholders, too. Furthermore, various factors affect the impact of digital technologies on education. These factors are interconnected and play a vital role in the digital transformation process. The study results shed light on how ICTs can positively contribute to the digital transformation of schools and which factors should be considered for schools to achieve effective and efficient change.

ResumenEl Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior ha llevado a las Universidades de toda Europa, entre ellas las españolas, a cambios metodológicos para su adaptación al Proceso de Bolonia. Estos entornos educativos suponen una nueva conceptualización de la docencia, en la que las Nuevas Tecnologías de apoyo a los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje adquieren un papel fundamental. En este escenario, una comunidad de profesores procedentes de la Facultad de Educación y Trabajo Social de la Universidad de Valladolid (UVa), vienen desarrollando desde hace años diversas innovaciones educativas en la asignatura de Nuevas Tecnologías Aplicadas a la Educación (NNTT). Innovaciones que han desencadenado en la puesta en práctica durante el curso académico 2007-2008 de una plataforma Wiki como eje transversal para el desarrollo de aprendizaje colaborativo. Este artículo analiza cómo desde una asignatura soportada por tecnología Wiki y orientada sobre los principios del aprendizaje por indagación (IBL) se puede ayudar a promover el trabajo colaborativo y el pensamiento crítico entre los estudiantes desde la apertura de posibilidades didácticas y docentes.

Teachers in initial formation need to acquire an emotional education that supports them in their professional development. Among the possible emotions that they may have, are the fears of different situations that may occur at an educational centre. Thus, this article presents a training experience using body language, artistic expression and ICT as resources that promote the emotional self-knowledge of university students. The research enabled the analysis, following a case study method with 71 university students and three professors of the subject ICT applied to Education, of how future teachers in Early Childhood Education face the fears, they have, of situations that can occur in school, through the use of ICT, body language and artistic expression. Among other results, students valued the importance of working their fears for their future teaching activity, (re) presenting feared scenes related to the dynamics within the classroom, such as the classroom control; and with those that happen outside of class, for example, mobbing. In addition, there was also a satisfaction among the teachers for breaking the stereotype of the instrumentalist class. The students, on their behalf, advised this workshop to be done in other subjects of the Degree and suggested that these dynamics be included throughout the course as they seemed beneficial for their training.

La investigación docente resulta fundamental para mejorar los procesos educativos. Sin embargo, en los planes de formación inicial de maestros/as las competencias en investigación son a menudo desarrolladas de manera superficial. Con la finalidad de analizar y conocer la percepción del profesorado universitario y de los estudiantes de los Grados de maestros/as respecto a la formación en investigación educativa, se ha desarrollado un estudio de casos desde una aproximación interpretativa en la Universidad de Valladolid. Los resultados alcanzados a través de distintas técnicas dan cuenta de la necesidad de reorientar el currículo y el modelo de formación inicial docente, vincular la teoría y la práctica, así como reformar las políticas educativas en aras de fomentar el perfil de un docente investigador.
