Incidence of TIC in the collaborative learning of the subject of programming in students of the first semesters of the Science Pedagogy Career

Abstract

Currently there are optimal results regarding the use of technology and collaborative learning in the teaching-learning process, as in several countries in Latin America and Europe technologies have already been implemented in the educational process both at middle and high school level, resulting in students with a high degree of critical thinking, research and collaborative spirit, as these tools have contributed positively in their autonomous and meaningful learning.
as a result, students with a high degree of critical thinking, investigative and collaborative spirit, as these tools have contributed positively in their autonomous and meaningful learning. In this sense, the objective of this research is to evaluate the incidence of TIC in the Collaborative Learning of the subject of Programming in the students of the first semesters of the Pedagogy of Experimental Sciences and Computer Science Career. For this purpose, research with a qualitative-quantitative approach was developed where surveys were applied to students and interviews to teachers in charge of the programming subject, as well as technological tools such as blogs, virtual educational platform (Uvirtual), Padlet and the WhatsApp social network. As results, positive responses were obtained from the students when working in teams and making use of the aforementioned ICT tools for the construction of group learning. The respective analyses showed that the use of ICT tools to perform tasks in work teams contributes positively to the generation of effective collaborative learning by students.
