A CASE STUDY ABOUT AN INNOVATIVE PROJECT USING ICTS IN A SCHOOL PLACED IN GALICIA: ACTION AND/OR REFLECTION?

Abstract

Data regarding research studies conducted in the field of ICTs, confirm that schools have difficulties to adapt to the demands of the knowledge society. On the one hand, this adaptation implies an enormous effort as to adjust the schools’ structure (syllabus, organisation and professionally speaking) to teachinglearning innovative models, characterised by «creating knowledge» as a result of a collaborative process. On the other hand, current social pressures make it quite difficult for schools to rethink their traditional functions and tasks, and so to create new learning environments (to introduce in the classroom increasingly more sophisticated gadgets, intensifying the tasks, restructuring the elements involved in the teaching-learning process, etc.). As an attempt to give an answer to this situation, we decided to start an Un estudio de caso sobre un proyecto de innovación con TIC en un centro educativo de Galicia: ¿acción o reflexión? inquire based work, continuous and sustainable, in the form of cases studies (which may be useful for schools to rethink, globally, its meaning within the context of the knowledge society. In this article, we deal specifically with one of the case studies, at present in progress.
