Los materiales curriculares como disparadores de reflexiones sobre la gestión pedagógica

Abstract

This work was organized around two axes. The first focused on the results of the evaluation of the curriculum materials of the Cell Biology course (Veterinary Medicine, National University of La Plata) conducted by a questionnaire to students (n=217). This first axis acted as a promoter for the second axe, the reflection on the pedagogical course management. The qualitative and quantitative results showed that respondents positively evaluated various aspects of the materials. The differences with respect to a previous survey, analyzed under the light of massification and diversification of higher education, pointed the need to rethink the nature of curriculum materials. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to implement improvements and innovations in course materials is proposed. In order to recognise that ICT is not the quintessence of educational innovation, and that universities are not exempt from the impact of ICT on all domains of academic activities, the development of new materials was proposed under a new conception to make productive and meaningful use of ICT.
