El impacto de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación en el sistema escolar

Abstract

One of the aims of the school as institution is to insert pupils, generally children and teenagers, in a culture developped in a wider social and economical context. School centres are strongly encouraged to accept the rules imposed by the social reproduction system leading groups. That is why the incorporation of the new technologies means, as printing press and audiovisual aids did in the past, a chance to spread knowledge among a bigger number of people, but -at the same time- it involves the risk of a mechanical, uncritical cultural assimilation which is likely to make clients more than citizens.
