Educational Innovation through ICT-Mediated Learning Strategies in the Initial Teacher Education of English Language Teachers
GIST Education and Learning Research Journal, n21 p91-117 Jul-Dec 2020
This paper describes the results of the first cycle of a co-joint action research study in methodological innovation in pre-service language teacher education at a private university in Bogotá, Colombia. The first part of the study consisted of implementing several ICT-mediated learning strategies that were designed considering the theoretical tenets of educational innovation, autonomy, and mediation. Strategies were implemented in three different academic spaces of a B.A. in Foreign Languages during the first semester of 2019. The purpose of this pedagogical implementation was to examine the value of ICT-mediated learning strategies for methodological innovation. The data analysis results, which were collected through a survey, indicate that ICT-mediated learning strategies play a fundamental role in methodological innovation because they promote collaborative and cooperative learning, foster autonomy, and self-directed learning. In addition, these strategies also seem to provide a range of possibilities for bolstering learning agency development on the part of the pre-service language teachers.
