ABSTRACT
Introduction: This paper presents the results obtained in the process of teacher
training called learning strategies mediated by Mobiles, oriented at the beginning of
2013 and 2014 at the University of La Sabana.
Objective: To contribute to the design and implementation of mobile learning
strategies at the University, through a blended learning process, starting with the
recognition of mobile learning, identifying its strengths and weaknesses, and then
determining if the most appropriate for the training process that has been designed
is to integrate the devices as a support or complement to mobile learning.
Methods: A descriptive research was carried out which included the design and
implementation of a training process in the case of 19 university professors who
were interviewed to identify their contributions and difficulties during the training
process.
Results: Among the main results found, it is possible to indicate that although
there is a great initiative by the teachers during the face-to-face component, only
35 % of these manage to complete the virtual component, due largely to the lack of
time that teachers have during the academic semester and the difficulties that exist
in institutions of higher education for incorporating this type of devices.
Conclusions: During the training process it was possible to show that teachers
need a long-term accompaniment that helps overcome the difficulties present and
enhance the advantages that teachers find when incorporating this type of
technology into their teaching practice.
