THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF THE USE OF ICT IN THE ESO
Nowadays, we live in a permanent revolution since we are able to
handle information and technological devices that we could not imagine few
years ago. Lifestyle has changed affecting the way we live and work and it is
central to develop new capacities and abilities to be integrated in a connected
society that it is in an incessant change. Students must be prepared to adapt
themselves to this society. Thus the formation in this competence is essential
in the syllabus of the secondary education. Developing digital competence in
the educative system requires the right integration of the use of ICT in the
classroom and qualified teachers in this competence. According to the legal framework in Spain, ICT
must be present in every syllabus of the different subjects in the secondary
education. For this reason, European
Union works for students to be able to acquire knowledge, skills and aptitudes
to adapt themselves to the possible demands within ICT field. Due to the massive amount of technological
devices that appear in a very short period of time, it is important to educate
in an appropriate use of tools that facilitate students to interact with their
environment, as well as the ethical and legal boundaries that their use
implies. Students of ESO and Bachillerato are digital natives so that they are familiarized with
the presentation and transfer of digital information. In this sense, the
possibility to have access to a massive amount of information implies the need
of classifying according to relevance criteria that allows students to develop
a critical response. Therefore, students should be able to incorporate and link
this technological learning with the rest of subjects.
