Introducción. This article shows the results of the La Salle Hum@nísTICa project (an initiative to strengthen the pedagogical uses of IT) and the Universidad Piensa la Paz (The University Thinks Peace) research, in which the relationship between IT and the formation of proponent professionals for conflict solving is approached. Materials and methods. La Salle Hum@nísTICa made a survey among university professors, aiming to explore the appropriation in the use of IT as a didactic resource to generate learning processes in the classrooms. Results. Professors must be motivated to add virtual worlds as a strategy to guide students able to criticize political speeches that conceive one only world. Discussion. It is urgent to pass from diagnoses to the adoption of methodologies aimed to transform the Education-Technology binomial. Conclusions. The articulation of virtuality, freedom of speech and sociopolitical realities contributes to the formation of people that can influence and participate in the strengthening of democratic practices.
Keywords : IT; teaching practices; university; freedom of speech; democracy.
