Introduction to the Program

La educación del siglo XXI poco tiene que ver con la tradicional. Ahora la digitalización es la base de la enseñanza y ofrece múltiples aplicaciones para desarrollar en las aulas”

La innovación en el ámbito educativo está a la orden del día. Cada vez surgen nuevos recursos digitales que se pueden aplicar a la Educación Primaria y conseguir con ello un aprendizaje más eficaz por parte de los alumnos. Gracias a ello, la educación del siglo XXI presenta unas características diferentes a las de la escuela tradicional del siglo anterior, que han sido propiciadas por una sociedad del conocimiento que basa todas sus actividades en un contexto virtual. 

En la actualidad, las TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación) han dejado de ser meros instrumentos para transformarse en medios para mejorar las programaciones didácticas, las dinámicas de aula, las prácticas educativas, las metodologías, las comunicaciones, los recursos y las evaluaciones. Por ello, en TECH hemos diseñado este Postgraduate certificate que pretende preparar a los docentes para que sean capaces de afrontar exitosamente los diversos retos relacionados con la integración efectiva de las TIC en las aulas y el desarrollo de metodologías de carácter activo que propicien a través de las TIC un mejor aprendizaje del alumnado. 

Para ello, el orden y distribución de las asignaturas y sus temas está especialmente diseñado para permitir que cada estudiante decida su dedicación y autogestione su tiempo. Además, dispondrá de materiales teóricos presentados mediante textos enriquecidos, presentaciones multimedia, ejercicios y actividades prácticas guiadas, vídeos motivacionales, clases magistrales y casos prácticos, donde podrá evocar de forma ordenada el conocimiento y entrenar la toma de decisiones que demuestre su capacitación dentro del ámbito de la enseñanza. 

Esta formación se distingue por poder cursarse en un formato 100% online, adaptándose a las necesidades y obligaciones del estudiante, de forma asincrónica y completamente autogestionable. El alumno podrá elegir qué días, a qué hora y cuánto tiempo dedicarle al estudio de los contenidos del programa. Siempre en sintonía con las capacidades y aptitudes dedicadas al mismo. 

Podrás autogestionar tu tiempo de estudio gracias a nuestra modalidad 100% online”
