ICT in the educational processes of a Public Research Center
Journal Title: Apertura - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
This research determines the factors that inhibit the systematic use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the educational processes of the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste, SC (CIBNOR). In the same way it examines the level of affectation in the adoption of these technologies for factors such as age, the relation of the teaching practice, the perceived incentive by its exercise, the professional and job profile, among others. Therefore, a quantitative research was carried out, applying a survey to the entire academic staff of CIBNOR, statistically examining the correlation of the data and the graphical analysis of dispersion and regression. The results show that the profile of the institution's academics, generally of PhD dedicated to the research of some branch of biology, does not constitute a factor that affects the familiarity, use, attitude and competencies that they have on the ICT; age is shown as an insignificant factor, however, the insufficiency of the economic incentives towards the teaching is outlined as the factor that inhibits the adoption of the technology in their practices, causing the academics of the institution to subordinate the practice of teaching to their research activities.
