Abstract:
This Ph. D. report presents the explanation of the the first eduCAT1x1 project year implementation in the educational demarcation of Terres de l’Ebre (Tarragona), during the school year 2010/2011, where it has been generalized a model based on the complete Secondary Education classrooms digitization (incorporating interactive whiteboards, microlaptops for each student, digital books, connecting classrooms to the Internet, etc.). This report focuses particularly on matters relating to infrastructure, the students digital competence and the improving within one of the subjects, and it has been developed in three public high schools from our area. Regarding the implementation issue, we have found weaknesses in terms of infrastructures, the quality of digital educational materials, the possibilities of knowledge sharing and teacher training options; regarding the students digital competence, we’ve shown clear shortcomings in relation to their ability to use ICT for their own learning; and, finally, regarding the real improving within the Spanish language subject, it is very clear the low level of communicative competence learning, so we’ve detected a serious curricular problem among others. Once exposed the implementation process, we formulate several learning improving proposals in the context of this eduCAT1x1 project.
