Abstract

The current society has experienced a series of changes and technological transformations, which at the educational level, are a challenge for teachers, who interact with young digital natives, more accustomed to use these technological advances in their daily activities and study and learning processes. The present work aims to identify the contribution of the booktube, as a pedagogical resource that promotes learning and emotional development, in the subject of Educational Guidance at the Universidad del Bío-Bío. An educational experience, that contemplated the use of booktube, was designed and implemented with third year Primary Education Teaching students. Specifically, 50 students who are taking the subject of Educational Guidance. At the end of the course, a perception questionnaire was applied. The results indicate a positive evaluation by the students, with averages per item ranging from 4.02 to 4.68 (out of a maximum of 5 points), the indicators with the highest average were "improving oral expression competence" and "acquiring a didactic tool for the emotional development of my future students". On a small scale, these results evidence the learning potential provided by technologies, when their use is intended to support a formal learning process.
