Nudos de Acción Project: Preservice teachers build ties to contribute to the improvement of their learning communities

Abstract

University programs should promote meaningful learning and authentic teaching by requiring students to immediately apply what they have learned and to contribute to the betterment of society. In this sense, technology provides innovative solutions that affect the quality of student learning. In a knowledge-based society, increasingly vital in the 21st century, digital citizenship comprises the abilities and ethical values to participate in it. This article discusses how this meaningful learning can be facilitated, and describes the structure used to develop the Nudos de Acción Project, in which preservice teachers from universities in different countries form a learning community that learns and contributes to education while developing as critical colleagues.
