Design and production of digital educational resources through Plotagon in the Degree of Early Childhood Education

In the XXI century, students demand new learning methodologies in which the use of Information and Communication Technologies into the classroom is considered as inescapable. This question entails that both initial teacher training and permanent training should consider including, inside their training programs, contents that enable teachers to develop their abilities and skills for integrating this kind of resources with learning dynamics in any educational stage. In this line, here we present a study, framed in the University Education, specifically in the Degree on Children Education from the University of Cordoba (Spain), where students have to learn to use the Plotagon computer application in order to design and produce audiovisual didactic resources that involve the different curricular elements in this stage. A quantitative approach has been used in this research, through a questionnaire created ad hoc that is composed by 27 items regarding the learning of the Plotagon software in High Education. The obtained results show the students agreement in terms of perception of the contributions of this audiovisual resources to the learning process. However, their opinion about the assessment of this application can be ranked as indifferent.
