ICT are nowadays, a reality in Spanish education. Although
it has been a tough job, their use in physical sciences
education has also increased in the last few years. But even
with that, it is not clear whether students like them, use
them and get any real profit from them. In this work we
tried to analyse several aspects of the use of ICT in
Spanish physical sciences education system, as which tools
are used the most, which tools should be used the most, or
which competences students improve with their use, among
others. The results showed that computers are the preferred
tools and that they will continue playing that role in the
future, but also that 17% of the students think that ICT are
not necessary.
Key words:
ICT, education, innovation, computer, competences. |
