La apropiación social de tecnologías móviles, una oportunidad para la formación ciudadana

Abstract

Today, ICTs and mobile applications transform people´s lives. They are present in all areas and everyday contexts, in such a way that they offer different perspectives and approaches to take on challengessuch as those proposed by education in rural areas. With this research, a proposal is created for the social appropriation of ICTs through micro-learning strategies mediated by mobile devices for the citizenship training of 10th and 11th-grade students ina rural institution in Urabá Antioqueño. The idea that arose during the execution of the project ´Ecosystem of Digital Content for Apps in Urabá´, carried out between 2019 and 2020, was chosen by the Zapata Rural Educational Institution, IERZ, which provides its services to the Zapata district, Necoclí, for fieldwork between March and May 2020, for the commitment of the educational community and the advancements in the Eduapps process. The methodology included: characterization of the level of appropriation in the face of mobile devices and categorization of how citizenship is evidenced from the daily school exercise. The knowledge was transformed into the micro-learning proposal, the Eduapps model, to strengthen citizen training. In the end, it was possible to demonstrate that the proposal promotes training and tunes the academic community of the village based on the use of mobile digital tools and appropriation of didactic strategies, to understand the importance of assuming their own citizenship to build a peaceful territory and with a real exercise of democracy.
