El uso del blog de aula como recurso complementario de la enseñanza presencial para el intercambio de información e interacción entre el profesorado y alumnado de primer año de química

Resumo

The possibilities of ICTs in the processes of teaching and learning have already been experimented in scientific fields, such as Chemistry. In fact, they have gained a greater relevance since they are considered as a way to possibly get students motivated and foster the role of the active student. In this experiment a blog is integrated in the course “Chemistry II” in the first year of chemistry studies at the University of the Balearic Islands in order to build a communication and collaborative knowledge space around chemistry between professors and students. The data from the experience was gathered through students’ questionnaires, a professor’s interview and observation of the activity in the blog. After reviewing the results, we can conclude that the experiment, in general, was interesting for both professor and students, but needs more elaboration and boosting in order to enhance participation and enrich the knowledge construction through reflection and discussion
