El propósito de este proyecto de grado fue diseñar una propuesta edu-comunicacional que incentivara el uso de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) por parte de los docentes de la línea curricular Formación Integral (FI) de la Universidad San Sebastián, en la sede Santiago. Respondiendo así al compromiso institucional de utilizar las TIC como herramienta de apoyo al proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje en el siglo XXI. El proyecto inicia con el planteamiento del problema, a saber, la falta de apropiación de las TIC por parte de los docentes que repercute en la integración en el aula. Se realizaron ocho entrevistas semiestructuradas a los docentes pertenecientes al área de "Formación General" sobre sus creencias, competencias y usos de las TIC. Las principales conclusiones de ese diagnóstico dan cuenta que la falta de apropiación de TIC de los docentes se debe a que, durante su formación profesional, no tuvieron experiencias significativas de uso de TIC; por lo tanto, hoy usan las TIC en un nivel básico, mayoritariamente; y, además se suma que su condición contractual condiciona su tiempo y recursos para el aprendizaje de uso de TIC y para desarrollar un trabajo colaborativo con sus colegas. Todo esto repercute en que el actual docente de FI sede Santiago desconozca buenas prácticas docentes con uso de TIC, desaprovechándolas para construir escenarios significativos para sus estudiantes y, por último, repercute en el aislamiento del docente respecto con sus colegas. Utilizando dichos resultados se diseñaron 3 módulos a integrar en el entorno digital de aprendizaje "Docente de Formación Integral" dentro de la plataforma de la Dirección de Formación Integral de la Universidad. Los módulos son: Buenas prácticas, Formación Activa y Comunidad. Se destaca su mirada colaborativa y en red entre los profesores. Finalmente, dicho diseño fue presentado a 2 expertos en TIC en el aula para su correspondiente validación y mejora.

This volume of essays from leading British, North American and Australasian contributors looks at the issues of the convergence of distance and conventional education. The term 'convergence' refers to the breaking down of barriers between open and distance learning and conventional institutions, and the creation of more and more institutions working across a range of modes. Such convergence has been driven by a number of factors, including the new technologies for teaching and learning, the impact of lifelong learning policies, the entry of larger than ever numbers of adult part-time students into tertiary education, and the demands of both employers and individuals for professional and work-related education throughout their working lives. The fourteen chapters engage critically with a range of aspects of convergence, including: * how well is open and distance learning carried out by conventional institutions for which it may continue for a lengthy period to be seen as of secondary importance? * to what extent will open and distance learning be more effectively carried out by conventional institutions able to offer a variety of modes to a wide range of learners? * how well will the variety of learners be served by systems that are converging? * what are the managerial issues at institutional level where converging systems are being developed?

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.
