| Sumario: | In the last decades, the use of virtual teaching and learning environments has caused an extensive number of transformations in the teaching profession that influence practices. This work aims to make a contextualized analysis of the influence that the integration of technologies has on the profile, functions and roles that lecturers must play in the virtualized proposals of CURZA-UNCo. To that end, we made a bibliographic survey focused on contributions of the last twenty years of different authors on the topic. This survey enabled the design of a semi-structured interview, used as a data collection technique from an ethnographic perspective. We interviewed ten CURZA teachers and the results obtained in these interviews were analysed in the light of the initial theoretical framework. The findings indicate that, on the one hand, some educators do not yet understand that the 21st century demands new forms of communication, new work styles, new ways of accessing and producing knowledge. On the other hand, they also suggest that educational institutions must take management decisions based on a deep comprehension of technology crossing. They should invite teachers to rethink their roles and, consequently, they should stimulate the necessary professional development policies to make of ICT a real opportunity for change and educational improvement. |
