ICT-mediated teaching models in university teaching: a systematic review

Abstract

The interest in understanding the role of the university teacher in today’s society implies analyzing the didactic decisions that guide their work for the development of professional, social and technological skills. In this framework, the present study aimed to identify the scientific production related to the application of didactic models, mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), in the context of university education. Through a mixed analysis, with the application of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, a search was carried out from the five moments of the systematic review process, where a total of eighty-nine articles published in different high-impact journals were obtained. The results show the effort of teachers to implement some models based on the use of ICT resources and tools, compared to the poor command of didactic and technological skills for the construction of this type of strategy. Within a pragmatic perspective of education, this article proposes the challenges assumed by teachers to reformulate their practices, amid the dynamics of a transhumanist world located in the new ecology of knowledge. In this way, the different sociocultural contexts would facilitate the transformation and solution of problems applied in the classroom.
