Motivaciones y satisfaciones generizadas en el digital_learning: un estudio de caso

Abstract

In this article we discuss a differential gender analysis on a control group of teachers of mathematics in the Italian public school, who in the school year 2009/10 attended a blended training course provided by the National Agency for the Support of School Autonomy. The study focused on the motivations and satisfaction level. The gender digital divide in the postindustrial society is not really a quantitative question but it is related to the quality of the use of ICT. Unfortunately, in the academic research literature this aspect is still largely unexplored and we hope that this article can give a contribution to this. The results of our study, in agreement with the literature, show a gendered approach to the blended courses that demonstrates the need to design spaces and educational activities less androcentric and more attractive and inclusive. The results also make it explicit, stressing the need to continue to do research in this area that is strategic in order to overcome the qualitative gender digital divide.
