Abstract
PEREIRA, Roberto. Teaching in the 21st century: on-Line training. Pensando fam. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.1, pp.57-67. ISSN 1679-494X.
The arrival of the Internet, and the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that have followed in its wake, has revolutionized our lives, including how we teach. The use of ICT allows students (and teachers) quick and easy access to a boundless volume of information that was not previously selected, resulting in an inevitable role change for both the former and the latter. Students, because this possibility allows them to be significantly more autonomous and to learn much more by themselves; teachers, because where they were once the main source of information and the transferors of knowledge, their work is now one of guidance, orientation and selecting the available information. If an online training course is to be organized properly, the teachers/tutors need to be trained in this type of learning and a suitable Teaching Guide has to be drawn up, one that makes it possible to create a “Learning System” involving all the agents who take part in the full training process. This kind of training can be perfectly adapted to the systemic training, as shown by the excellent results of the Vasco-Navarra Family Therapy School online training program that has been given in Spanish since 2003 and in Portuguese since 2013.
