GUACANEME-MAHECHA, Marisol; ZAMBRANO-IZQUIERDO, David  and  GOMEZ-ZERMENO, Marcela Georgina. Technological Appropriation by Teachers: The Use of Open Educational Resources. educ.educ. [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.1, pp.105-117. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2016.19.1.6.

The objective of this study was to analyze the process of technological appropriation on the part of a group of middle school teachers at a bilingual school in Bogota (Colombia), specifically in terms of their selection, addition and implementation of open resources. The research question guiding the study was: How does technological appropriation occur among teachers who incorporate open educational resources into basic education at a bilingual school in Bogota? Semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation were the data collection techniques used. They were applied to four high school teachers and twenty students. Three areas of research were analyzed: technological appropriation, learning environments and open educational resources. The findings show the teachers are familiar with technological tools, make good use of them, operate computers and projectors in their classrooms, and constantly include resources to support their class work.

Keywords : School research; classroom research; ICT in education; basic education; open educational resources.
