Abstract:
The aim of this work is to analyse the new moment that Education is living due to Educational Technology.We live in a dynamic society that experiences constant changes concerned to every sector of our life. The boom of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) has changed our way of thinking, communicating and also our way of teaching and learning.Education can not remain at the margin of these changes, although the introduction of these new elements as mediators in the teaching-learning process has changed the way of dealing with each of the didactic model elements and it has transformed traditional didactic communication.We want to stress this point without forgetting the technical and instrumental criterions. We'll analyse the elements of the plan of a formation process with Communication and Information Technologies and the way that they affect the relation between the different elements of the mediators didactic model.The main objectives of this investigation can be summarised as follows:-Designing a proposal of didactic material on-line to the development of two subjects of study of Pedagogy (General Didactic and Adults' Education).-Developing and valuing the methodological proposal included inside of a pedagogic model.-Analysing the process of teaching-learning developed in formation's technology, in the university education, in general, and in both subjects of study of our study, in particular.-Analysing didactic strategies to use Educational Technology as education's tools, as soon as knowing the use and relation with the didactic elements that teachers give to the new recourses.The object of analysis and the objectives appointed before drive us to determinate the great epigraphs or necessary elements to analyse the development of our investigation. These are:-The role of the Didactic and Educational Technology.If our purpose falls back in the didactic analysis of the teaching processes which use Educational Technology as transmission's tools, we can't lose the epistemological reference. This orientates us towards how the education process must accomplish it.-The formation based in Information and Communication Technologies.The fact of analysing and evaluating the changes that these resourses, has contributed to the educational world: new stages and learning environments, new formation 's kind, the processes of improvement or innovation these have supposed, the necessity of designing new educational plans, the changes produced in the teacher's and student oles, the design and production of material, the evaluation, etc.-The program's evaluation.In third place, as we pretend to analyse the development and the results of the formation programs based in the net, we can't omit the planning which will conduct us to value the working of these.In the area of study analysed there was the subject General Didactic and Adults' Education of Pedagogy. The next subjects which participate n this study, with different grades of implication:-Professionals and/or experts in the area of investigation and/or in the application of the Educational Technology in the teaching-learning process. The first group participates in the validity of the tools, while the second group centre their effort in the analysis of the design of espai multimedia material, in the planning of the subject of study. At the same time, two of these experts participate in the course's development actively, as assessor or observer of the educational process.-The students of the courses implicated. Their collaboration is very important because they're objects of study and they represent the active part of the educational process. They're informers of our study and also, they're the elements over which we exercise a process of constant feed-back in order to value the formation rocess.-Teacher/s of the subject of study. Their function is the plan of the course, in the design of the didactic material and in exercising their functions of teacher-tutor during all the course. With their actions, we are implicated and we collaborate with them in each moment.
