ANDRADA, Pablo  e  CABALIN, Cristian. Perceptions about media in teacher trainers of early childhood education in Chile. OBS* [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.2, pp.106-124. ISSN 1646-5954.

Increasingly, technological advances have made smart televisions, computers, tablets or interactive whiteboards are part of the inventory of kindergartens. Despite some attempts to keep the kindergartens free from the presence of the media, the desire to take advantage of technological advances has made televisions, computers, tablets and electronic blackboards being part of the inventory of these schools. These acquisitions have not been accompanied by a media education that allows children to learn to live with the media from early childhood education. The present study has as objective to know what the perceptions about the means of communication are that professors of Chilean children's education have, which will allow us, in turn, to approximate to establish how media education is incorporated in teacher training of this educational level. To this end, a distance questionnaire was applied to professors from Chilean universities who taught courses in media relations in early childhood careers. The results show that professors who teach language and communication respond more to the apocalyptic tradition of the media, while those of ICT follow the apologist tradition.
