Resumen

El Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) implica el paso del saber al saber hacer y un cambio de perspectiva en la educación sustentado en la enseñanza- aprendizaje que conlleva una modificación de métodos y sistemas de evaluación. Veinte años después del comienzo de los primeros pódcast, su crecimiento permite su implantación en todo tipo de entornos y sectores productivos, incluyendo los correspondientes a formación preuniversitaria y universitaria. Con el propósito de determinar cuáles son las posibilidades didácticas del empleo de la tecnología de podcasting en la enseñanza de Humanidades, se analiza el proyecto de innovación docente UNIVpodcast, una iniciativa auspiciada por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid que fue puesta en marcha durante el curso 2022-2023 y prorrogada a lo largo del 2023-2024 y 2024-2025 ante los satisfactorios resultados alcanzados. Para su mejor comprensión se han examinado las áreas temáticas fundamentales de este proyecto, el número y perfil de los estudiantes que han participado y los contenidos de los diversos episodios generados. Hasta la fecha, un total de 383 alumnos han creado toda clase de contenidos mediante la elaboración de 126 pódcast que han sido tutorizados por 13 profesores que imparten asignaturas en tercero y cuarto curso de grado de siete universidades públicas y privadas pertenecientes a cuatro diferentes comunidades autónomas de España.

Abstract

The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has undergone a shift from knowledge to know-how, and a change of perspective in education based on teaching- learning, entailing a modification of evaluation methods and systems. Twenty years after the advent of podcasts, their proliferation has enabled their implementation in all types of environments and productive sectors, including those corresponding to pre-university and university training. To explore the potential of podcasting technology in the Humanities education, we examined the UNIVpodcast project, a teaching innovation initiative sponsored by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. This project was initiated during the 2022-2023 academic year and was subsequently extended from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025 due to the positive outcomes it produced. To enhance comprehension, an examination of the fundamental thematic domains of the project, the number and profile of participating students, and the content of the generated episodes has been conducted.To date, a total of 383 students have produced a variety of content through the creation of 126 podcasts, which have been mentored by 13 professors teaching subjects in third and fourth year undergraduate courses at seven public and private universities across four distinct autonomous communities in Spain.
