Abstract
Introducción. El Conectivismo es una teoría de aprendizaje, un elemento fundamental dentro del sistema educativo contemporáneo, hoy es difícil concebir una institución educativa sin su aplicación. Aunque el conectivismo se formuló en 2004, a partir del 2020, debido a la emergencia sanitaria COVID-19 presentada a nivel mundial, se convierte en lo esencial para continuar con la educación, puesto que las aulas físicas se convirtieron en espacios virtuales, esta situación origino que la población a nivel mundial y en Ecuador se incorporen las diferentes herramientas tecnológicas en el ámbito educativo, empresarial y social; sin embargo, este proceso ha tenido sus desafíos principalmente en las limitaciones de acceso para los estudiantes y falta de implementación de recursos tecnológicos en las aulas de clases. Objetivo. Analizar la influencia del conectivismo dentro del sistema educativo en Ecuador. Metodología. Revisión bibliográfica de literatura científica, estudio cualitativo no experimental. Resultados. La presencia del conectivismo en Ecuador es significativa, lo que facilita que los estudiantes obtengan información actualizada y contextualizada, independientemente del tema que estén estudiando. Entre los impactos positivos se encuentran la adopción de las TIC y la generación de nuevas tecnologías. Entre los desafíos, se encuentran las limitaciones de acceso para los estudiantes, la resistencia al cambio de los docentes, la formación no sistematizada y la dependencia de recursos como la electricidad. Sin embargo, con una estrategia de implementación, se lograría un cambio en el currículo para el aprendizaje a través de redes, promoviendo la autonomía con entornos de aprendizaje más dinámicos. Conclusiones. Para la implementación del conectivismo en el contexto ecuatoriano es importante analizar los aspectos clave que influyen en su implementación y las posibles limitaciones. En cuanto a su implementación puede promover la interconexión entre diferentes regiones, culturas y comunidades, es un elemento crucial para que los estudiantes avancen con sus pares en el mundo. La principal limitación consiste en el contexto geográfico y brechas digitales que se encuentran aún presentes en el país.
Introduction. Connectivism is a learning theory, a fundamental element in the contemporary educational system and nowadays, it is difficult to conceive an educative institution without its application. The connectivism was formulated in 2004. However, due to the COVID-19 health emergency presented worldwide in 2020, it becomes essential to continué education, since physical classrooms became into virtual spaces. This situation caused that the population worldwide, and particularly Ecuador incorporates different technological tools in education, business and social fields. Nevertheless, this process has had its challenges mainly due to the limitations of access to technological resources in classrooms and forthe students. Objective. To analyze the influence of connectivism within the educational system in Ecuador. Methodology. Bibliographic review of scientific literature, non-experimental qualitative study. Results. The presence of connectivism in Ecuador is significant, making it easier for students to obtain current and contextualized information regardless of the topic they are studying. The positive impacts of connectivism includes: the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies and the technological generation. Among the challenges, technological access limitations for students, teachers' resistance to change, unsystematized training and dependence on resources such as electricity still remains to be solved. However, with an appropriate implementation strategy for connectivism, a change in the curriculum for learning would be achieved through networks, promoting more autonomous and dynamic learning environments. Conclusión. For the implementation of connectivism in the Ecuadorian context, it is important to analyze the key aspects that influence its implementation and its potential limitations. Its implementation can promote interconnection between different regions, cultures, and communities, which is a crucial element for students to advance alongside with their peers around the world. The main limitation for connectivism implementation is the geographic context and the unequal digital access that are still present in the country.
