Spanish term or phrase: rupturistas
Entiendo que un teórico "rupturista" rompe con los esquemas tradicionales asentados, etc......., pero no sé como decirlo en inglés. !Gracias!

"Existe polisemia en el campo de la Tecnología Educativa, por ello es necesario reconocer diversas conceptualizaciones apoyadas en diferentes teorías de la tecnología ,que luego se aplican a la educación en general y a la educación mediada por TICs. Se realiza un recorrido histórico epistemológico para entender la disciplina, con una reconsideración conceptual y metodológica del campo como disciplina especial de la tecnología, con el aporte de diversas fuentes de teóricos ***rupturistas***, para arribar a una propuesta de la Teoría Crítica de la Tecnología con una revisita a su campo.
