ENTRE LO MODERNO Y LO TRADICIONAL: RELATO DE UNA EXPERIENCIA DE APRENDIZAJE EN PROGRAMACIÓN DE COMPUTADORES

Abstract

The confrontation between the modern and the traditional is an important side in education research. This article presents the results of an investigation carried out in the classroom, where the effectiveness of learning is compared from the use of the cell phone camera compared to the traditional way of copying in the notebook, within a mutually exclusive methodology to make observations with objectivity. The results show that although technological advances facilitate some activities of the human being in a learning context that does not necessarily means it enables the learning of disciplinary knowledge. On the other hand, the traditional ways of consigning the knowledge imparted by the teacher in his keynote presentation, that is, copying by hand and letter, allow the student a direct contact with the knowledge mentioned and its impact on learning is more effective. It is concluded that in a context of technological learning, the engineer teacher must be clear when to use certain modern technological resources and when to open the spaces for the student to register, from his own perspective, the new knowledge acquired.
