ABSTRACT
@#This article discusses the Online Educational Resources (OERs) Movement and why OERs are so highly recommended by international collaborative organizations for the attainment of an inclusive, learner-centered and development-centered open education. The second part recounts how the creation of an OER served as a viable alternative teaching learning and assessment strategy for achieving course outcomes during (but not limited to) pandemic times. It showcases the outputs of students of the Doctor of Health Professions (DrHPEd) program taking a course on Quantitative Data Analysis (HPEd 391) during the first semester of AY 2021-2022. The process of making an OER was challenging. At times, the students felt that they were doing things beyond the scope of a course in quantitative data analysis. But everyone agreed that because of the degree of student engagement involved, the sense of fulfillment at the end was intense. The creation of an OER was a realistic, context-based and relevant final output which most of the students intend to use for their real-life advocacies. It was truly an exercise which demanded integration of all dimensions of technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) and yielded a personal and unique output which exhibited the highest order of learning outcomes - at the level of synthesis. And what may have appeared 'extra-curricular' at first was actually simply a more authentic assessment.
ABSTRACT
Resumen Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio que evalua las percepciones de autoeficacia para integrar las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (tic) en el aula y los conocimientos tecnológicos, pedagógicos y de contenido (tpack) en profesores en formación. Así mismo, pretende identificar asociaciones entre estas percepciones, con la edad y los efectos del género en su valoración. Se realizaron análisis de correlación y de comparación de medias, a un total de 274 estudiantes de último año de quince programas de Licenciatura de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional de Colombia. Los resultados indican asociaciones significativas entre las percepciones de autoeficacia y los conocimientos tpacky correlaciones negativas entre los grupos etarios y los conocimientos pedagógicos y tecnológicos del contenido. No se encontraron diferencias significativas con respecto al género.
Abstract This article presents the results of a study that evaluates the perceptions of self-efficacy to integrate Information and Communication Technologies (ict) in the classroom and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (tpack) in teachers in training, as well as associations between these perceptions with age and gender. In total, 274 senior students from fifteen Bachelor of Education programs at the National Pedagogical University of Colombia participated in the study. Correlation analysis and mean comparison tests were applied. The results showed significant associations between perceptions of self-efficacy and tpackand negative correlations between age and pedagogical and technological knowledge of the content. We did not find significant differences between men and women regarding their self-efficacy and tpack.
