Abstract
LIGARRETTO FEO, Rennier Estefan. Technology Mediation in Teaching: Artifacts, Models and the Role of Teachers. Educación [online]. 2021, vol.45, n.2, pp.678-689. ISSN 2215-2644. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revedu.v45i1.42999.
This study reflects on understanding the notion of technological mediation as a teaching tool by, first, analyzing the pedagogical undertones regarding the use of technology as an instrumental mechanism or cultural artifact for mediation. This subject of discussion focuses on the political and educational aspects of society. Education as part of an information and knowledge-based society must contemplate the role of teachers, theoretical models, didactic strategies and digital narratives to streamline education and incorporate technology as a cultural mediation tool for teaching. Final considerations highlight the importance of incorporating connectivism principles for the technological mediation in teaching. This involves acknowledging technology as a cultural artifact permeated by an economic, political and social dimension and analyzed from a teaching perspective.
