Abstract

This article is about the results of a mixed evaluative research with an emphasis on the qualitative paradigm, whose general objective is to analyze the effects of the Educational Project mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), GENIALES-TIC, in the development of soft skills of teachers and teaching directors of the Institution Educative Agricultural Technician of Sincerín (Institución Educativa Técnica Agropecuaria de Sincerín, INETASIN).

The effects are analyzed based on the Guskey model, in relation to the specific objectives of the project. It takes into consideration the reaction of the participants to the Program itself, the learnings about multiple intelligences and the discovery of their main talents, as well as the strengthening of character, emotional intelligence and defining their personal life projects. The effects on the Educational Institution are also analyzed, as well as on the work environment, the changes on the Institutional Educational Program (PEI), the application of the new learnings in the classroom and the motivation of the students.

The Program received an excellent review from directors and teachers, with a grade of 4.86/5.00, which indicates great value of the Program. As far as the learnings, it can be highlighted that they show more knowledge related to the skills they have worked on.

They report improvements in the work climate; they have made important adjustments to the Institutional Educational Project PEI, to incorporate the competences of the Project. They express the intention to focus more attention on the talents of students and add a subject to work soft skills from preschool to High School.
