Abstract
El objetivo de esta investigación es comprender las virtualidades y limitaciones de la red social y portafolio digital Mahara en la formación inicial docente. En los últimos años, los medios digitales, entre los que destacan las redes sociales, han incrementado su influencia en los distintos ámbitos de la vida cotidiana. Las aulas, ocupadas ya por nativos digitales, ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de incorporar en la educación herramientas que permitan transferir las funcionalidades que tanto nos atraen de las redes sociales (interactividad, sociabilidad, facilidad para crear espacios de intimidad, personalización y acceso a información ilimitada) al ámbito académico, especialmente en la formación del profesorado novel. En este sentido, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de caso conformado por un grupo de estudiantes de Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Málaga y su profesorado, quienes utilizan Mahara en varias asignaturas. El análisis y triangulación de los datos dio lugar a siete categorías emergentes que nos permiten conocer las potencialidades y desafíos de la herramienta a través de la singularidad de lo que podría considerarse como una buena experiencia formativa. Estos resultados muestran como Mahara ayuda a promover el desarrollo de competencias docentes a través de la integración de lo formal y lo social.
The objective of this research is to understand the virtualities and limitations of the Mahara social network and digital portfolio in initial teacher training. In recent years, digital media, among which social networks stand out, have increased their influence in different areas of daily life. The classrooms, already occupied by digital natives, highlight the need to incorporate into education tools that allow transferring the functionalities that attract us so much from social networks (interactivity, sociability, ease to create spaces of intimacy, personalization and access to information unlimited) to the academic field, especially in the training of new teachers.. In this sense, a case study has been carried out consisting of a group of students of Early Childhood Education of the University of Malaga and its teaching staff, who use Mahara in various subjects. The analysis and triangulation of the data gave rise to seven emerging categories that allow us to understand the potential and challenges of the tool through the uniqueness of what could be considered as a good teacher training experience. These results show how Mahara helps promote the development of teaching competencies through the integration of the formal and the social.
