PEREIRA-GARCIA, Alexander. Assembling the Cyber School. Trilogía. Cienc. Tecnol. Soc. [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.28, e300. Epub 21-Feb-2023. ISSN 2145-7778. https://doi.org/10.22430/21457778.2287.
This article presents the results of a study aimed at understanding the links between education and digital technologies. This objective was achieved by analysing the process of producing a cyber school, a strategy proposed by the Colegio Enrique Olaya Herrera, which is a public institution in Bogotá that emphasised digital technologies as a structural component of its educational project. Methodologically, this study adopted documentary review and an ethnographic approach based on the logic of following the heterogeneous actors and actants involved in order to understand the transitions and associations that occurred, as well as the different phases of the process. As a result, this study found a gradual incorporation of the discourse on Information and Communication Technologies first, in official educational policy documents and, subsequently, in school practices which is evidence of the popularisation of the imaginaries and assumptions linked to these technologies. This led to controversies, encounters, and disagreements between a multiplicity of actors that are linked to the school scenario. The main conclusion of this study is that the construction of meanings assigned to Information and Communication Technologies by the actors involved and the articulation between policies, norms, documents, discourses, social practices, and humans determine the course of the assembly of the cyber school, the difficulties for its intended stabilisation, and, therefore, the justification of a project to improve the quality of education.
