Motivación e innovación: Aceptación de tecnologías móviles en los maestros en formación

Abstract

ResumenLas tecnologías móviles constituyen un recurso didáctico de gran potencial. Sin embargo, su proceso de incorporación al aula no se está desarrollando de forma satisfactoria. Los futuros docentes jugarán un papel clave en el proceso de integración de estas tecnologías en contextos de educación formal y, por ello, resulta necesario conocer los factores que condicionan su proceso de toma de decisión. El presente artículo expone los resultados de un estudio que analiza la influencia de los factores motivacionales en la intención de utilizar las tecnologías móviles en la futura práctica docente de los estudiantes del Grado de Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Salamanca. Para ello, se ha elaborado un modelo de adopción tecnológica basado en T.A.M. que incluye los constructos: utilidad percibida, facilidad de uso percibida, entretenimiento percibido, resistencia al cambio e intención conductual. El análisis PLS-SEM realizado confirma la validez y fiabilidad del modelo. Los resultados del análisis del modelo estructural reflejan la importancia del entretenimiento percibido y la utilidad percibida en el proceso de adopción, así como la poca importancia de la facilidad de uso. En total, los factores motivacionales consiguen predecir un alto porcentaje de la varianza de la intención conductual, lo que pone de relieve la necesidad de diseñar programas formativos que incidan en estos elementos.Palabras clave: tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación; formación de profesores; actitud hacia el trabajo; escala de actitud. AbstractMobile technologies constitute a didactic resource with great potential. However, their incorporation process to the classroom is not being implemented in a satisfying way. The future teachers will play a key role in the integration process of these technologies' integration process in formal education contexts and, therefore, it is essential to know the factors that condition their decision-making process. This article presents the results of a research which analyzes the influence of motivational factors on the behavioral intention to use mobile 273 I.S.S.N.: 1138-2783 technologies in the future teaching practice of the students from the Pre-primary Education Degree from the University of Salamanca. With this purpose, we have developed a TAMbased technology adoption model including the following constructs: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, resistance to change and behavioral intention. The employed PLS-SEM analysis confirms the validity and reliability of the model. The results of the analysis of the structural model reflect the importance of perceived enjoyment and perceived usefulness in the adoption process, as well as the low relevance of perceived ease of use. In total, the motivational factors enable the prediction of a high percentage of the variance of behavioral intention, which reveals the need to design educational programmes that emphasize on these elements.

Engaging ICT Engineering Undergraduates in a Management Subject through First Day of Class Activities: An Empirical Study

“…On the one hand, according to several research works, students' motivation is correlated with academic success [42,43] or with an impact on their engagement [44]. In fact, motivation may improve different academic outcomes [45][46][47]. On the other hand, engagement is related, among other issues, to improved achievement [48,49], decreased dropout rates [50], or to the creation of a positive class climate [51].…”

Change at Distance Education, What Kind of Resistance? What Improvements?

“…Finally, the participants consider New Technologies category as a good tool, although they also believe that it would be necessary to apply some improvements, such as the incorporation of videos, videoconferences or other forms of synchronic communication (Luran et al, 2015). Additionally, this perceived utility is essential to predict the intention of using mobile technologies where teaching practice is perceived as a profession where the changes in day to day need to be considered, and there is a certain resistance to the use of mobile technologies, because they are digital natives, and when they live with them as entertainment; they do not know how to look at the educational side (Sanchez et al, 2017). In general, resistances could be generated both by its complicated beginning and by the use and management of the platform.…”
