Teaching innovation in the teaching-learning of the Spanish language

Abstract

Introduction: The presence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the educational context has motivated the incorporation of new digital educational resources into teaching-learning. This requires updating the traditional methods and procedures of teaching and learning, which are ineffective in these circumstances. The University of Holguín, in compliance with its virtualization policy, trains teachers in the use of technologies, which favors their innovative attitude. Materials and methods: The integration of Learning Objects (LO), identified as a digital teaching medium, is an example of this; however, there are not enough theoretical-methodological references to facilitate its proper use. As a result of the investigative work of the authors and with the support of the pedagogical sciences, the methodological procedures for the didactic planning of the LOs are proposed. Results: These contemplate different stages: planning (self-preparation and analysis), design, development, implementation and evaluation. As a template to develop the OA, the eXeLearning author software is used, free of charge and easy to use for creators who are not programming specialists. Discussion: In the organization or design stage, the structure of the task that contains the LO is proposed to carry out the independent study. Conclusions: The usability evaluation is carried out from the opinions of student and teacher users. To this end, two instruments were applied based on the established criteria, which grant the status of teaching medium to the Learning Objects.
