Abstract
El objetivo general de esta investigación es describir cómo la modalidad e-learning y las plataformas de acompañamiento del aprendizaje afectan la construcción de los aprendizajes significativos de los estudiantes. Basándose en la literatura y bajo el alero de la teoría constructivista y la teoría del aprendizaje significativo de Ausubel, autores posteriores y el postmodernismo se define el aprendizaje significativo.
El procedimiento metodológico para abordar el problema de investigación se enmarca en el paradigma interpretativo con metodologías cualitativas de investigación socio educativas.
Es dentro de la construcción del aprendizaje, que, con la aparición del Internet, el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías y las herramientas TIC se espera entregar a los estudiantes mayores posibilidades y metodologías para el aprendizaje.
En este contexto aparecen las aulas virtuales (e-learning) cuya modalidad de enseñanza- aprendizaje se realiza a través de redes computacionales y toman lugar en un entorno virtual y ponen en práctica lo aprendido. Esta modalidad es un desafío para docentes, alumnos e instituciones y en ella se evidencia cómo aumenta la participación de los estudiantes y se vuelven responsables de su propio aprendizaje. Es en este entorno (virtual) de construcción del aprendizaje, es que el aprendizaje significativo se desarrolla como respuesta a su ambiente y se refleja en lo que se ha aprendido de forma activa y articulada. Se definen así los cinco elementos o atributos del aprendizaje significativo: activo, constructivo, intencional, auténtico y cooperativo.
Es en la brecha del conocimiento que se tiene acerca del aprendizaje significativo y su medición en la modalidad e-learning y el uso de las plataformas de acompañamiento del aprendizaje que su estudio es un aporte novedoso.
Abstract The main goal of this research is to describe how e-learning mode and the backing learning platforms influence the students’ construction of meaningful learning. Meaningful learning is defined based on the authors under the constructive theory’s wing, Ausubel’s meaningful learning theory, later authors and postmodernism. The methodological procedure to address the research problem falls within the scope of the interpretative paradigm with qualitative socio-educational research methodologies. It is under the construction of learning that with the emergence of the Internet, the development of new technologies and TIC tools is expected to offer students more possibilities and methodologies for learning. In this context (e-learning) virtual classrooms turn up. Its teaching-learning mode is done through computer networks and takes place in a virtual environment where students put into practice what they have learnt. This model is a challenge for teachers, students and establishments and within it is shown how students’ participation rises, and they become responsible for their learning. It is in this virtual learning construction environment where meaningful learning is developed as an answer to their surroundings and what they have learnt is reflected in an articulated and active way. Five elements or attributes are defined for meaningful learning: active, constructive, intentional, authentic and cooperative. This research brings up a nouvelle approach to the knowledge gap regarding meaningful learning, its measurement in e-learning mode, and the use of backing learning platforms.
