RT Journal Article T1 Innovating with blogs in university courses : a qualitative study A1 Aguaded, José Ignacio A1 López Meneses, Eloy A1 Alonso Díaz, Laura AB Th is study is based on an eminently socio-constructivist and investigationalparadigm. By making pedagogical use of blogs in the classroom, we aimed todetermine whether students appreciate the usefulness both of this new social tooland of technology in general applied to education. Based on the use of blogs inseveral university subjects we designed a study and a total of 136 teacher-trainingstudents of the specialization courses of Infant and Primary Education participatedin it. Th e data for the study were collected using a triangulation of techniques: faceto-face discussion sessions, email messages and blog messages. Th e conclusionsreveal that blogs are easy to use, they are an important resource in educationalsettings, they encourage students to take on an active role, and they are a usefulinstrument for self-evaluation.
