Learning with the use of new information and communication technologies

Abstract

The computer is becoming an instrument that facilitates learning, because it seems more adapted to education than previous technologies (books, radio, slides, television, etc.), making it equally or even easier to use. In addition, it has communication skills. The focus of attention should be on the pedagogical methods that ensure their best use. In general, there has been no rigorous research that clearly shows that students assimilate a greater volume of knowledge than with the usual pedagogical procedures. On the other hand, the use of new technologies with different objectives seems to be learning that is becoming increasingly useful for everyday life outside of school.
