Abstract

Aiming at re-shaping the academic horizon of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), so that professionals and the correspondingtechnologicaldevelopment come up to the current Ecuadorian problems, we first undertake the critical review of the historical evolution of such horizon. As it will be shown, the structuring of the studies in this knowledge field has been characterized by a clearly positivistic and instrumental orientation which is inadequate to achieve an effective realization of the constitutional principle of good-living or SumakKawsay. The nature of these technologies makes that the problems to be concerned of are global, but nevertheless there are challenges, opportunities, specifically Ecuadorian we have to consider. A restructuring of the knowledge related to ICTs is thus proposed, based on an integration of knowledge which combines interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary methodologies targeting innovative, responsible and sustainable solutions. On this basis, a critical reworking of the curriculum in the light of the current pedagogical knowledge (particularly the one provided by connectionism, neurolearning and, above all, critical pedagogy.
