Mapa de conocimiento del uso de medios de comunicación en instituciones educativas de básica y media en cuatro regiones de Colombia

Overview & Synopsis

The research that resulted in this book aimed to characterize the use of media in three elementary and secondary educational institutions in the cities of Cartago (Valle del Cauca), La Union (Nariño), Dosquebradas (Pereira), and Cartagena (Bolivar) through the construction of a knowledge map that would promote the exchange and articulated management of experiences and developments. The methodology used, integrated different ways of approaching the reality of educational dynamics and actors that generate educational-communicative and social processes to strengthen their training practices. In this line, each experience is consolidated in what are called Media Biographies, product of the experiences, events, times, and efforts each actor has deposited in these processes and that are articulated from different voices; the actors, the researcher when conducted the field work, and later the authors of this document. The research also illustrates a crucial period for educational history at the global level; the health emergency of COVID-19, which was integrated into the dynamics and expanded the ranges of analysis and personal and professional reflection, insofar two experiences were developed in this period, and managed to collect the emotions, the complexity, but also the dynamics to overcome the difficulties. The results show a map that presents different evolving coordinates of routes already established to qualify future inquiry exercises that become beacons on which educational institutions, teachers, and students can replicate, retake, or streamline these experiences and from there, contribute to the quality of education in the country.
