Abstract

There is agreement on the contribution of technology to teaching and learning. Given its potential we can find a number of features that promote learning as the possibility of establishing a two-way communication, the potential of the interaction between teachers and students, the ability to organize, adapt and be flexible with information based on the needs and requirements of students. Notwithstanding, there’s not much information on the effects of using technology in the teaching and learning process or the elements we should consider to analyze the use of technology in teaching and learning. In order to answer these questions, the work presented here aims to assess the current state of the research in the area of ICT skills and media literacy in Chilean students.
