Resumen

Este artículo presenta una investigación en la que analizamos la funcionalidad didáctica de los Personal Learning Environment (PLE) y los Open Educational Resources realizados por estudiantes que cursan el “Máster universitario en Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación en la Enseñanza y Tratamiento de Lenguas” de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) durante dos cursos académicos: 2014-2015 / 2015-2016. A través de una concepción metodológica basada en la etnografía virtual, aplicamos un procedimiento de análisis con una doble vertiente cualitativa mediante el empleo del programa Atlas-Ti y del enfoque reticular-categorial del análisis de redes sociales con la aplicaciónde UCINET y la representación mediante el visor yED Graph Editor. Los resultados de esta investigación muestran que el empleo conjunto de PLE y OER diseñados por los propios estudiantes mejora su competencia digital, principalmente en dimensiones como: búsqueda de información en línea, articulación de las necesidades de información, localización de información relevante, selección eficaz de recursos, navegación entre recursos en línea y creación de estrategias personales de información. Además el estudio reticular de los foros mediante técnicas de análisis de redes nos han proporcionado una red en los que los principales beneficios de los PLE y OER se relacionan con las siguientes categorías: enfoque centrado en el alumno, desarrollo de estrategias para el manejo de la información y la creación de un modelo de aprendizaje auto-regulado.
