Planificación y desarrollo de un mapa de habilidades TIC en orientación

The main purpose of this article focuses on identifying specific Information and Communication Technologies skills, particularly those related to web pages and e-mail, useful in the implementation of Guidance functions and tasks. To this end, it was designed a competence map overlaid on those of a technological and coach and also produces a matrix that considered seven areas of focus grouped by International Association Educational and Vocational Guidance: evaluation, educational guidance, career development, counselling, information management, research and evaluation and placement. It also took into account three types of approaches to the counsellor regarding the use of ICT in guidance, as a resource, medium and development of guidance materials and two of these tools (websites and e-mail). The effective integration of Information and Communication Technologies and effective use of them, by guidance professional is based on their competences in them. This resource, open and flexible, requires a continuous updating in order to be useful in the implementation of guidance tasks, in self-assessment of competence by professionals; diagnosis of deficits in the design, planning and development training and guidance actions. It is also an instrument of great relevance and usefulness to guidance practitioners to explore the training needs and their occupational profile and to motivate their professional development.The main purpose of this article focuses on identifying specific Information and Communication Technologies skills, particularly those related to web pages and e-mail, useful in the implementation of Guidance functions and tasks.

Para ello, se diseno un mapa de competencias en el que se entrecruzan las de caracter tecnologico y orientador, y se elaboro asimismo una matriz integrada por siete areas de Orientacion seleccionadas por la AIOEP: valoracion, orientacion educativa, desarrollo de la carrera, asesoramiento, gestion de la informacion, Investigacion y evaluacion y colocacion. Tambien se consideraron tres tipos de enfoques en lo referente al empleo de las TIC en Orientacion (como recurso, medio y desarrollo de materiales orientadores) y dos herramientas (paginas web y correo electronico). La integracion y empleo eficaz de las TIC, por los orientadores, se halla en funcion de las competencias de estos en ellas. Esta herramienta (mapa), de caracter abierto y flexible, exige una continua actualizacion con el proposito de ser util en la puesta en practica de actividades orientadoras; en la autoevaluacion de competencias por parte de los profesionales del ambito; en el diagnostico de deficits formativos y en el diseno, planificacion y desarrollo de acciones de formacion y/u orientacion. Se trata de un instrumento de gran relevancia para que los Orientadores exploren sus necesidades formativas y asesoras, el perfil ocupacional y motiven su desarrollo profesional.
