The ICT Coordination and teacher education as drivers of educational reform in the school

Abstract

Several current researches state that the mere presence of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the classroom does not necessarily lead educational innovation. Even some of them emphasize the limited capacity that these technologies seem to have to encourage and promote innovation processes and improving educational practices.Moreover, others emphasize the role of ICT Coordination as a dynamic factor of innovative processes in school that contribute to change the mentality of teachers and the renovation of the teaching models that facilitate methodological change in the teaching-learning.We believe, on the other hand, that the ongoing training of teachers in our schools is the essential element to ingrain pedagogical conceptions based on the construction of learning by students that adjust better than previous pedagogies to the new social and technological changes that require modern societies.The political, social and economic framework that our country belongs to, forces our education system to be in accordance with modern trends of Continuing Education and development of so-called key competences that every citizen should have the end of compulsory education in which we can find the digital competence.In this article we present a proposal of innovation based on a learning approach to teaching in which the association between the pedagogical-didactic work with Key Competences and Access to Knowledge Technologies is contemplated.
