Resumen
La integración de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en la educación es fundamental para mejorar los distintos procesos que se llevan a cabo, y la orientación educativa no es una excepción. En Costa Rica, los profesionales en orientación desempeñan un papel crucial en el apoyo al desarrollo integral del estudiantado, y su capacidad para utilizar recursos tecnológicos puede potenciar significativamente esta labor. Este artículo analiza la utilización de la tecnología por profesionales en orientación costarricenses en su ejercicio en el Ministerio de Educación Pública. Metodológicamente, el estudio emplea un enfoque cuantitativo, ex post facto y transversal, utilizando un cuestionario como instrumento para recolectar datos. La muestra incluye a n=329 profesionales de orientación de diferentes provincias del país. Los hallazgos revelan que, aunque el colectivo emplea tecnología principalmente para la búsqueda de información y la comunicación con la comunidad educativa, la integración para la creación de recursos digitales y la impartición de sesiones es menos frecuente. Esto refleja tanto el potencial como las limitaciones en la adopción de tecnología, influenciadas por factores como la capacitación, la edad y el contexto geográfico. Se recomienda fortalecer la formación continua, promoviendo una capacitación adaptada a las necesidades y contextos específicos, lo que permitirá una mejor integración de la tecnología en la orientación educativa.
The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education is essential for enhancing the various processes involved, and educational Guidance is no exception. In Costa Rica, Guidance professionals play a crucial role in supporting the integral development of students, and their ability to use technological resources can significantly enhance this work. This article examines the use of technology by Costa Rican guidance professionals in their work within the Ministry of Public Education. Methodologically, the study employs a quantitative, ex post facto, and cross-sectional approach, using a questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The sample includes n=328 guidance professionals from different provinces across the country. The findings reveal that while the group primarily uses technology for information retrieval and communication with the educational community, its integration for creating digital resources and conducting sessions is less common. This reflects both the potential and limitations in technology adoption, influenced by factors such as training, age, and geographic context. It is recommended to strengthen continuous training, promoting education tailored to specific needs and contexts, which will allow for better integration of technology in educational guidance.
