Resumen

This research analyses different methodological strategies and techniques involving the use of Educational Technology from a consistent educational approach with a development of cognitive
competences. The method arises from a descriptive analysis and a factor analysis with a questionnaire with 2 dimensions as an instrument. The sample of 121 students from 2 Spanish universities value positively the application of collaborative learning and integration of Educational Technology with all its possibilities even though they mostly prefer classroom
teaching than e-learning. In this sense, we conclude that there are very positive appreciations about the different methodological strategies and techniques that enhance active and collaborative approach involving the development of cognitive competences and based on the concept of learning by doing.
