- Prácticas de enseñanza mediadas por la tecnología. Cómo enseñan los docentes en los foros de discusión de cursos que se desarrollan en modalidad a distancia Wellington Mazzoti Educación This work shows the results of a research on educational practices carried out by different teachers during newsgroups’ discussions about e-learning in three educational centres –two in Argentina and one in Uruguay- with varied proposals and formats. The studied discussion groups were closed, only taking part in them the students there enrolled. The underlying concept of the research is that discussion groups are the main tools of any proposal for e-learning. Its power lies in the fact that through such groups it is possible to organise the socialisation of a virtual group, outlining a community of individuals related to each other and with the common aim of building knowledge. This way of communication transmits the observations and the analysis of the teachers’ participation at the studied discussion groups within the research’s framework. Among other considerations, it is shown how the role of a teacher transcends the institutional proposal. Within similar course formats, teachers assume very different roles and lead the discussion groups in such different ways that their scopes differ substantially from one another. We have observed how some teachers become genuine lighthouses that cast the light on the way to be trodden, while others equal themselves with the students, almost adopting the position of a fellow classmate in a thematic discussion group. The actions of some teachers are error-centered, through the use of subtle and well defined techniques aiming at taking care and strengthening communications, while others display a technique we call “teacher-at-the-rescue” destined to encourage the forum and deepen the exchanges within this environment. 2009 artículo científico 1510-2432 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=443643889002 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4436 Cuadernos de Investigación Educativa application/pdf Universidad ORT Uruguay Cuadernos de Investigación Educativa (Uruguay) Num.16 Vol.2
