Synopsis

Technological Mediation and Childhoods is an academic product derived from the inter-institutional research project Mediaciones tecnológicas en la educación infantil: comprensiones desde las experiencias de niños y niñas en Colombia (Technological Mediations in Early Childhood Education: Understandings from the Experiences of Children in Colombia), developed by researchers from three Colombian universities: Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD), Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga (UNAB) and Institución Universitaria Iberoamericana, members of the Asociación Colombiana de Educación Preescolar (ACDEP) and an affiliate of the World Organization for Early Childhood Education (OMEP).

This book disseminates some conceptual approaches, a methodological proposal and the lessons learned in the development of a research study that explores how children ages 5 to 6 in Colombia value their educational experience mediated by technology.

Similarly, it provides theoretical and methodological contributions in dialogue with the voices and experiences of children, exploring how diverse childhoods experience their relationship with technologies for learning. It also encourages reflection on the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in early childhood education, based on the concept of technological mediation and children’s interaction with the connected world.
