Abstract

This research study was founded to analyze how the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), within the framework of a transversal project of the Environmental Biotechnology Course for students of Environmental Engineering which generates significant contributions in pedagogical aspects and in the organization and transformation of educational practice. The proposal was developed under a qualitative approach based on the collection of information through observational instruments. For this, it was held in the academic space of elective III called Biotechnology, formed by eighteen (18) students of eighth semester of Environmental Engineering. The paper concludes, among other things, the need to recognize cross-cutting projects as an active part of the curriculum because, in this way they become pedagogical strategies that promote the interdisciplinary approach to various topics. Also, these projects should recognize and appropriating transformations at the training and curricular level resulting from technological advances that they can contribute to the innovation of the education system, considering the incorporation of ICT as powerful elements in teaching processes learning. The results then become an advance in the incorporation of the transversally of language and the use of ICT as transversal pedagogical resources in Colombian universities whose strengthening will depend on the reflection of teachers, the transformation of pedagogical practice, the recognition of the voice of students as knowledge builders and institutional support.
