Pedagogical knowledge construction and open educational resources for training of professionals for university teaching

Abstract

In higher education, the challenge presented by the current educational scenario cannot go unnoticed, in which variables related to numerous transformations converge in different ways: the role played by teachers and students, the ways of learning, sharing and communicating knowledge, and the times and spaces in which learning takes place. Nowadays, a multiplicity of pedagogical innovative actions is possible by taking advantage of the new means, resources and environments that the digital technologies have made available for teaching, and which may boost and enrich it. In consequence, training professionals for university teaching displays the unavoidable commitment of thinking about the characteristics that teaching should adopt in higher education within the new contexts. This article is aimed at analyzing the feasibility of incorporating changes in the teaching modalities in university classrooms, from the exploration of proposals such as flipped classrooms, open educational resources, the possibility to enrich the ideas shared and scattered all over the cyberspace, through the so called collective intelligence which propitiates a boosted learning.Within the framework of the Course of Studies on University Teaching Specialization of the Veterinary Sciences School of the University of Buenos Aires, an experience carried out in the workshop “Selection and Production of Didactic Materials” is described, which was directed to the design of hypermedial didactic materials for a flipped classroom, using the remix procedure and with a representation of the teacher as content curator.
