Abstract:
Combined teaching strategies are distinct from the traditional methods, where the use of mediation technology and the presence and communication of the teacher/student implies an interactive process. Objectives: -Establish and assess the incorporation of the New Information and Communication Techniques, NICT, as mediators in the teaching and learning process in semi-presential systems in a university career. -Identify relevant pedagogical characteristics of the learning process with multivariable strategies. Method: Methodological combination that sought an adequate cuantitative/cualitative interpretation, and not a convergence of results, mutually vigorize each other to offer perceptions that each one could not have arrived at independently. -Based on a study case. Results: a) The mediation of the NICT arose as an educational, cooperative and democratic system. b) Limited home connections to Internet. c) The Web page contributed giving added value to teachers and autonomy to the student. d) In spite of difficulties in the forums, the students participated in collaborative work. e) The teacher/tutor acted as a facilitator and support giver, although this was not taken advantage of by the students. f) The use of the electronic tutorials was scarce and its' incorporation was slow. g) The proximity teacher/student interacted with fast feedback. h) The changes obtained by the student, through the mediation, were important. Conclusions: 1) The semi-presentiality with the use of the NICT, in university careers, was accepted by teachers and students, resulting in a positive experience for culture and regional diversity. 2) The teacher/student relation, frightening in the beginning, changed to curiosity after incorporating the technology. 3) Increase in motivation with the use
