ICT Usability in Educational Practice

Abstract

An analysis of the usability of information and communication technology (ICT) from the perspective of educational practice is carried out, focusing on acquiring new meanings by establishing interaction between technological resources and teaching, and how knowledge is built from experience. ICT usability or user experience is a learning condition mediated by digital resources for initial teacher training, based on the premise that training through competences will allow the development of skills, attitudes and values applicable to ICT in a specific context. Moreover, the competence approach associated with sociocultural constructivism provides the standard for integrating knowledge, learning to do, learning to be, so that the teacher can identify resources they could deliberately include into the teaching-learning process as well as the accessibility they can achieve with their user experience. This process involves those direct attitudes teachers show in their training and their interest in improving their practice, taking into consideration that the professional work of those dedicated to education implies constant training and updating so as to reach the desired innovation in teaching.
