Análisis de la incidencia de las TIC en la práctica pedagógica de los profesores de posgrado de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Santo Tomás, seccional Tunja

Abstract

The research analyzes the impact that the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has on the pedagogical practices of postgraduate teachers at the School of Law of the University of Santo Tomás Tunja, from the understanding of the level of appropriation that they have the documents in the ICT, and the use they make to improve their pedagogical practice in aspects such as innovation, communication, experimentation and the exchange of knowledge. The research paradigm that frames the work is the historical hermeneutic, with a mixed approach, although emphasis is placed on the interpretation of information qualitatively. The main theoretical means of the study are Hooper and Rieber (1995), Orozco, Ochoa and Sánchez (2002); and competency document of the Ministry of National Education. The research concludes that in postgraduate studies at the Law School of the University of St. Thomas, teachers know information and communication technologies, and use them in their pedagogical practices. However, they do not take full advantage of their benefits, because their knowledge is not exhaustive, therefore, it is necessary to train them to link more and more technological tools in their pedagogical practices, which facilitate the learning process of their students.
