Abstract
En este estudio se analiza en qué medida el profesorado universitario utiliza los recursos tecnológicos que configuran sus
Ecologías de Aprendizaje para propiciar su desarrollo profesional como docentes. El interés de esta investigación radica en
el creciente impacto del constructo de las Ecologías de Aprendizaje como marco para examinar e interpretar las múltiples
oportunidades de aprendizaje que ofrece el complejo panorama digital actual. Además de identificar los datos globales
referidos al uso de los recursos tecnológicos agrupados en tres dimensiones (recursos de acceso, búsqueda y gestión de la
información, recursos de creación y edición de contenido, y recursos de interacción y comunicación), también se examina
la influencia de diferentes variables como el género, la edad, los años de experiencia docente y la rama de conocimiento. La
metodología empleada ha sido de corte cuantitativo a través de encuesta. La muestra está compuesta por 1.652 profesores
pertenecientes a 50 universidades españolas. Para dar respuesta al objetivo del estudio se llevaron a cabo análisis descriptivos
e inferenciales (ANOVA). Se constata un empleo moderado de los recursos tecnológicos para el desarrollo profesional y,
además, se observan diferencias significativas en función de las variables analizadas. Los resultados alertan de la necesidad
de fomentar, tanto a nivel individual como institucional, Ecologías de Aprendizaje más enriquecidas, de manera que cada
docente pueda aprovechar mejor las posibilidades de aprendizaje que ofrece la sociedad en red
This study analyses the extent to which faculty use the technological resources that make up their Learning Ecologies to encourage their teacher professional development. The interest of this research is the growing impact of Learning Ecologies as a framework to examine the multiple learning opportunities provided by the complex digital landscape. Global data referred to the use of technological resources grouped in three dimensions (Access, Search and Information Management resources, Creation and Content Editing resources, and Interaction and Communication resources) has been identified. In addition, the influence of different variables such as gender, age, years of teaching experience and the branch of knowledge were also examined. The methodology used has been quantitative through a survey. The sample consisted of 1,652 faculty belonging to 50 Spanish universities. To meet the aim of the study, descriptive and inferential analysis (ANOVA) were carried out. On the one hand, it is noted a moderate use of technological resources for professional development and, on the other hand, significant differences are observed on all variables analysed. The results warn of the need to promote, both at individual and institutional level, more enriched Learning Ecologies, in such a way that each teacher can take better advantage of the learning opportunities, provided by the networked society
