VILLARRUEL FUENTES, Manuel; PEREZ SANTIAGO, Fernando  and  ALARCON SILVA, Gladis. Caracterización de la identidad docente a partir de la comunicación en foros virtuales de capacitación. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2015, n.50, pp.120-143. ISSN 1851-1716.

Among the factors that best explain the success of an educational institution are teachers who make possible the deployment of the curriculum. Therefore it is necessary to assume a teaching identity that allows them to meet their academic and social functions, but at the same time act as cultural brokers. Based on this, characterization of the identity of a group of teachers who carry out their work in a Technological Institute of Mexico was raised. The study was based on the Content Analysis and considered 28 teachers who took during eight months a virtual Diploma in teaching skills, through the Moodle platform. The analysis of their participation in 10 discussion forums allowed to identify a markedly institutional identity aligned with the official discourse, in favor of functionalist sense of education.

Keywords : Distance education; Educational practice; Teacher identity; Analysis of content; Virtual forums.
