Abstract

The accelerated technological advances force the educational systems of the world to manage a sustained evolutionary dynamics in their processes. Experts on the subject point out that the key is to learn to take advantage of the organizational, didactic potential of Information and Communication Technologies to mediate learning in the information age. It was based on the theoretical contributions of: SENA (2019), PISA (2018), Pérez, Builes and Rivera (2017), Valencia (2016), Tobón (2013), among others. This article analyzed the contributions generated by technological mediation to the knowledge society, aimed at the development of cognitive skills. Therefore, it is a documentary-type study, which uses the collection of information as a technique that provides the basis for content analysis; this involves analytical and reflective actions in relation to the subject. It is concluded that technological mediation implies a set of pedagogical, didactic, organizational and communicational actions that allow taking advantage of technological resources so that students acquire an independent learning style to self-train with criteria of relevance and quality.
