RESUMEN: La expansión de las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación está favoreciendo el origen de una sociedad globalizada, caracterizada por las redes. Eeste avance tecnológico y sus formas de intercambios, que afectan a la vida privada y a la cotidianeidad, van provocando una profunda transformación social ajustada a nuestro tiempo. La cultura del ciberespacio forma parte de nuestra cultura y, a su vez, la remodela. Eel mundo en que vivimos se caracteriza por un complejo entramado de sistemas sociales y técnicos que reclaman una nueva concepción del aprendizaje. Precisamos desarrollar criterios de pensamiento y de organización críticos, emanados prospectivamente de la existencia actual y vinculados a las nuevas realidades culturales. La ciencia y la técnica que constituyen el ciberespacio han de aceptarse como mecanismos de organización social en un mundo crecientemente tecnificado.ABSTRACT: The growth of information and communication technologies is favouring the origin of a global society, characterised by social nets. This technological step forward and its different ways of interchange, which affect private life and daily life as well, are producing a deep social change adjusted to our time. The culture of cyberspace is part of our general culture, and it is reshaping it at the same time. The world in which we live is characterised by a complex net of social and technical systems requiring new ways of learning. Wwe need to develop critical criteria for the way we think and organise society, which emanate in a prospective way from the current life and linked to new cultural realities. Science and technique, which together form the cyberspace, have to be accepted as mechanisms of social organisation in a world with more and more technology. Key words: cyberspace, virtual reality, complex systems, identity, learning, postmodernism, theory of education.SOMMAIRE: L’expansion des technologies de l’information et de la communication est en train de favoriser l’apparition d’une société mondialisée, caractérisée par les réseaux. Ce progrès technologique et ses formes d’échange, qui affectent la vie privée et le quotidien, provoquent un processus de profonde transformation sociale adaptée à notre temps. La culture du cyberespace fait partie de notre culture, tout en la remodelant. Le monde où nous vivons se caractérise par un tissu complexe de systèmes sociaux et techniques qui réclament une nouvelle conception de l’apprentissage. Il nous faut développer des critères de pensée et d’organisation critiques, émanant prospectivement de ce qui existe actuellement, et liés aux nouvelles réalités culturelles. La science et la technique qui constituent le cyberespace doivent être acceptées comme des mécanismes d’organisation sociale dans un monde de plus en plus technifié.

This article describes a proposal for the implementation of mental calculation as a strategy for learning mathematical contents in primary education. The mental calculation as an important part in mathematics gives the students an opening to new ways of thinking and gives him the mental agility that helps him to solve problems in a more competitive, quick and easy way. That is why the interest to train the student from an early age to boost the exercise of his mind, proposing strategies that make more efficient teaching-learning process and increase their academic performance in the subject of mathematics. On the other hand, nowadays the profile of the students is valued according to their competences and these must be demonstrated in solving problems of daily life. However, at this moment in history the student is surrounded by information and communication technologies, very effective for the advances that they bring with them, but they generate greater dependence on him, so that now he avoids using more of his reasoning, because most solutions are found by clicking a button.
