Integration of ICT in the Initial Teacher Training of the University of Los Lagos

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to reveal the state around the integration of ICT in the training of students in the teaching majors at University of Los Lagos on the Osorno and Puerto Mont Campuses in Chile. For the compilation of the information we used the documentary research technique, though which the curricula implemented in the training of the ICT in Education. The results reveal that there are different training situations in this area, which is expressed in significant differences in the number of designated hours in the majors in both campuses. Besides, according to the ICT standards for teachers in Chile, students would have a high percentage of working hours in the pedagogical dimension not in the management dimension. After the analysis, we propose a series of alternatives, among which are considered incorporating the ICTs in the Didactics of the specialization and the practicum processes, and developing instruments to measure the use of ICT not only at the beginning but also at the end of the training process.
