Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the impact of a curriculum intervention implemented in the subject of Language and Communication. A total of 515 students and eight teachers from six secondary schools located in the southern part of Chile were involved during a school term into pedagogical activities that considered the use of Internet 2.0 and a model for developing information literacy skills. Two questions oriented the research process: to what extend the implementation of this curriculum proposal can affect reading, writing and information literacy skills? What educational practices among teachers and students can be adopted? A pre-post test approach was used to measure the skills mentioned, showing positive outcomes on their writing skills. Interviews, focal groups, and classroom observation showed potential adoption of a few teaching, learning and assessment practices. The report opens an interesting discussion about the implementation of education interventions using ICT resources, and its potential impact on educational contexts.
