Vol. 2 No. 4 (2022): New educational technologies 2023
As a result of the recent pandemic, it has become clear the need to educate young people and children with accessible content from home, in digital environments in addition to giving the student a leading role in the teaching-learning process.
Thus, in the XXI century two major educational trends are identified, the first one that focuses more on the use of technology and digital platforms to impact the teaching-learning process, leaving aside the curriculum and teacher intervention, and the second one, which puts in the center the personalization of student learning, integrating the teacher, the curriculum and the context within the process.
However, pedagogical models continue to change and transform themselves to improve for the benefit of those involved such as students, teachers and even parents. It is worth mentioning that, among the educational trends, the collaborative classroom modality is gaining weight. Its purpose is for students to be more proactive, that is, to participate in class and share their knowledge and experiences with their classmates.
Teacher-student communication would no longer go in only one direction, but the bidirectionality of the interaction would be the key that would mark these relationships. Thus, collaborative learning would be directed by the students themselves, relegating the teacher to a kind of referee or moderator, similar to inverted learning.
Likewise, the issue intends to investigate and delve into other related issues such as formative assessment, language and cultural barriers, assessment tools, digital competencies, research skills, pedagogical support, sustained attention, public policies for the education sector and, of course, the boom that virtual educational environments are having.
