Abstract
Twitter se ha posicionado como una de las redes sociales más empleadas por el profesorado, generando espacios de afinidad entre docentes, en los que compartir y colaborar. Este estudio analiza el hashtag #CharlasEducativas, para comprobar si supone un espacio de afinidad docente en esta red social. Se trata de un hashtag vinculado a un proyecto educativo creado en España y relacionado con todas las etapas educativas de manera transversal. Realizando una investigación de carácter mixto, se han analizado 6073 tuits con el hashtag #CharlasEducativas, publicados entre enero de 2020 y julio de 2022, incluyendo un total de 761 perfiles de Twitter. Empleando el software MAXQDA se ha desarrollado un sistema de categorías para clasificar las temáticas más frecuentes en las interacciones y estudiar el tono del discurso. Mediante el software de análisis de redes sociales Graphext se ha profundizado en los perfiles con mayor participación. Entre los resultados, se ha confirmado que se cumplen las características de los espacios de afinidad (colaboración, carácter horizontal, creación de comunidad, existencia de jerarquía y fuente de aprendizaje informal). Las interacciones vinculadas a este hashtag son positivas, amables y con un tono cercano y distendido, lo que favorece la generación de un sentimiento de grupo, facilitando el aprendizaje informal. Además, el espacio presenta una marcada jerarquía con roles de liderazgo que permite que la información f luya y se alimente de forma continua.
