Integration of Information and Communication Technologies in the teaching-learning process of Virtual Learning Environments

Abstract

The article analyzes the teaching-learning process of the subject Virtual Learning Environments in initial teacher training, based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Inadequacies such as lack of equitable access, poor teacher training, disconnection between pedagogy and technology, limited interactivity and connectivity problems are detected. These shortcomings are due to a lack of pedagogical approach in teacher training, lack of continuous updating in educational technology and teacher barriers. This article projects the author's doctoral research. It proposes an ICT-based teaching strategy that provides access to educational resources, facilitates interaction and collaboration, allows personalization of learning, develops digital skills, and offers flexibility and remote access. Current research focuses on the impact of COVID-19, bibliometric review, virtual education, analysis of virtual education, virtual environments and adoption of virtual environments in universities. The novelty lies in the current relevance of integrating ICT in teacher training, promoting pedagogical innovation, adapting to the digital context and generating knowledge. There is feasibility in terms of resources, access to participants, ethical compliance and institutional support. Theoretically, it provides concepts on new educational contexts, virtualization, humanization, virtual classrooms and virtual reality. In practice, it improves learning, develops digital skills, promotes flexibility, interaction and curricular updating.
