Didactic strategy for the development of research skills with the use of ICT

Abstract

At present we can consider a growing interest in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the research activity in training institutions. The TIC offer possibilities of expansion of the informative offer, elimination of the space-time barriers between the professor and the students and increase of modalities of communication. In this study we present the proposal of a didactic strategy for the development of investigative skills with the use of ICT. This strategy is proposed to work with students of Pedagogy of the experimental sciences-computer science; of the faculty of education, art and communication of the National University of Loja, Ecuador. The methodology used is expressed in the analysis and synthesis, as well as the survey and the statistical-mathematical method in the processing of data to ten specialists who investigate the issue of the incorporation of ICT in higher education. It is concluded that the results of the evaluation carried out by the specialists on the designed strategy are statistically significant, which implies that there is sufficient evidence to suggest, with 95% confidence, that the ten specialists agree on the determination of its relevance, structure and functionality, as well as the effectiveness of its application in research practice.
