Incorporation of ICT in Education. Recommendations of International Cooperation Agencies 1972-2018

The incorporation of Information and Com­munication Technologies (ICT) in Higher Education arises through the discourse of international cooperation agencies capable of issuing global recommendations that position ICT as strategic tools to achieve the transformation of Higher Education. This research makes an analysis of the re­commendations of three organizations, UNESCO, the OECD and the OEI with the aim of recognizing their position on the subject over the last decades. The re­sults indicate that these organizations use their voices to influence the design of state policies by justifying the incorporation of technologies in education as a synonym for the improvement of the educational process using digital devices in the teaching practice. However, it is concluded that uncritical assumption of said voices can represent a risk if the he­terogeneity of the infrastructure capacities and academic needs in educational institutions is not considered, as well as the skills of teachers and students with the use of di­gital tools.
