Abstract
El uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en los centros educativos es cada vez más frecuente. Paralelamente, el uso de las redes sociales se ha incrementado extraordinariamente en los últimos años, en especial por los adolescentes. Sin embargo, su empleo con fines educativos en Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) no se ha explorado extensivamente hasta la fecha. En este trabajo se diseñaron, implementaron y evaluaron una serie de actividades en la red social Twitter para estudiantes de Biología y Geología de 4º de la ESO. Los resultados muestran una correlación positiva entre el nivel de participación en Twitter y las calificaciones académicas de los estudiantes. La experiencia sugiere que el auge y dominio de las redes sociales por los adolescentes puede ser reorientado hacia el aprendizaje-enseñanza de la Biología, haciendo de Twitter una herramienta educativa innovadora muy interesante en las etapas de Educación Secundaria.
The use of the Communication and Information Technologies (CIT) in education centers is more and more frequent. Concurrently, the use of social media has increased extraordinarily in the last few years, especially by teenagers. However, its use with an educational purpose in Secondary Obligatory Education (ESO) has not been widely explored to date. In this work, we designed, implemented and evaluated a number of activities on the social media Twitter for Biology and Geology students in the 4th course of ESO. The results show a positive correlation between the participation level in Twitter and the academic marks of the students. This experience suggests that the rise and knowledge of social media by teenagers may be re-oriented towards the learning-teaching process in Biology, making Twitter a very interesting and innovative educational tool in the stages of Secondary Education.
