En el presente artículo se hace un análisis sobre la implementación de tecnologías de información y comunicación en la educación superior con el objetivo de aportar conocimiento sobre las tendencias en su apropiación social. Para ello se ha hecho una revisión de documentos de política pública y literatura científica, que contienen las directrices planteadas por organismos internacionales en las cuales se presentan diferentes alternativas para orientar el proceso de integración de las tecnologías en la formación. Seguidamente se comentan algunos estudios acerca de problemáticas surgidas en el proceso de apropiación tecnológica sin un cambio en el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje, para lo cual se discute la teoría de aprendizaje conectivista como posible marco de referencia. Las conclusiones apuntan a centrar la atención en los procesos de aprendizaje más que a la i...

This paper presents an analysis of the implementation of information and communication technologies in higher education with the aim to contribute knowledge on trends regarding their social appropriation. To that effect, documents of public policies and scientific literature containing guidelines developed by international organizations and explaining different alternatives to guide the process of integrating technologies in education were reviewed. Then, some research works on problems derived from the technology appropriation process without changes in the teachinglearning process are commented. For this, the learning theory of connectivism is discussed as the possible reference framework for this analysis. Findings point to focus attention on learning processes more than on investing in equipment, and highlight the importance of using technologies in education within the context of th...
