Just about the environment?
Is “where” the CRUCIAL question?
A NEW approach for understanding
the learning process
“A set of tools, mechanisms, data
sources, connections and activities (experiences)
that each person uses habitually to learn"

Students appreciate new ways of developing their
tasks and their course work
Learning = acquiring information–
memorizing
Students, when arriving at university, NO ICT tools for
learning
Opportunities for Independency, collaboration
and self-importance
No Learning as complex, lack of learning understanding

• Tech and Not Tech Supported
• Mutually complementary
• Pedagogical Approach
• Hard Tech Based
• Learning implies: First recover info –from an expert-, Do something and Finally you show it to others
• Metacognition is NOT perceived as a learning process

PHASE 1. Design and validation of instruments for
collecting information on PLEs and clarifying of the data
collection strategy.
PHASE 2. Information collection and analysis of
data on PLEs. National sample of last year university'
students from all areas of knowledge.
PHASE 3. Creation and development of PLEs
diagrammer and descriptive and comparative analysis of
underlying PLEs models found in the data.
PHASE 4. Analysis and exploration of educational
and institutional implications of the results. Practical
proposals for institutional's pedagogical and
organizational developments.

If the PLE involve learning to learn with technology, integrate PLEs in
education would contribute to develop essential skills in a
complex and changing world as ours…
