Resumen

Este artículo se centra en la manera en que las actividades basadas en tecnología pueden ayudar a los estudiantes a tomar conciencia de sus propios procesos de aprendizaje y de su comprensión del concepto de autonomía. El estudio se llevó a cabo en una universidad pública en Colombia y la recolección de datos se realizó a través de varias observaciones de clase, una encuesta y algunos grupos focales. Hallazgos preliminares constatan que las actividades basadas en recursos tecnológicos pueden ser concebidas como un punto de partida en las decisiones autónomas que los estudiantes toman sobre su propio aprendizaje.
