El papel de la pedagogía en clases con computadoras uno a uno: un estudio observacional cuantitativo de las interacciones profesor-alumno

Abstract

In this study, we compared teacher-student interactions in traditional lessons and in lessons implementing a one-to-one computing program, where all students and the teacher have an Internet-connected tablet to be used in the classroom. Taking a within-subject approach, we used quantitative field observations to investigate deviance from traditional lessons (with no use of computers). The study population included three sixth-grade English teachers. Findings show that the teachers change their teaching when tablets are used in the classroom, but each teacher changes differently. Nevertheless, there are similarities in the overall time spent on whole-class discussions and in the time of overall computer use. We also find that interactions are typical of learning configuration types, independent of computer use. We conclude the paper by discussing the findings and noting their implications for teacher training.
