The pedagogical model in the area of technology and computers and the Edmodo plataform in the Distrital Educational Institution Reuven Feuerstein

Abstract

This article aims to study the analysis of technology and computer classes using a technological platform and if they are aligned with the pedagogical model pursued by the educational institution. This research was carried out at the Reuven Feuerstein District Educational Institution in the city of Barranquilla-Colombia, also derived from the doctoral thesis carried out by the author of this article. Some teachers in our context are not clear about the didactics and methodological strategies that should be used during the classes taking into account the pedagogical model and even more using technological tools, a series of surveys and interviews are carried out on each of the parties involved in the problem as teachers and students are to inquire if there is agreement between what the PEI (Institutional Educational Project) says and what is done in the teaching practice. A qualitative and quantitative approach was taken into account, for the collection of information, based mainly on surveys, interviews, documentary analysis and observation, where the generic data that frame this research are obtained. In this study we resort to the triangulation method that allows reconciling quantitative and qualitative data. This reconciliation means, for us, to complement the data derived from the different sources. The population selected for this research belongs to the tenth and eleventh grades in total 131 students, for a sample of 98 students. The results of the surveys show that students have a perception that the teaching they receive is constructivist while the teacher is based on the critical model.
