This research work was carried out at the Educational Institution "Mariscal Sucre". Located in the city of Machala, belonging to the province of "El Oro", La Providencia. With the participation of the teacher of the Social Sciences subject, Lcda. Rosa Jaramillo and with the support of the students of the Fifth year of EGB parallel "A". It should be noted that the situation we are experiencing in the country in the face of the COVID-19 health emergency, institutions were forced to close their doors, moving from face-to-face teaching to virtual mode, which is why it is intended that teachers acquire new knowledge. , applying innovative strategies and techniques that allow them to be used effectively in classes, applying different digital platforms and technological tools for a strengthened communication between teachers and students. Due to what was stated, the research problem was addressed in How does a Virtual Learning Environment contribute to improve the development, motivation and participation in students, through didactic strategies in the subject of Social Sciences in the fifth year of basic general education of the Mariscal Sucre Educational Institution? The objective of the research was to analyze the impact of the use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), through technological tools, for the strengthening of competencies and skills in the subject of Social Sciences. In addition, with the help of different technological tools such as Canva and Kahoot, a better explanation was developed and better results were obtained in the classes To do this, quantitative and qualitative approaches were used, applying research methods such as Pretest and Posttest (interviews and surveys) to a defined population of 18 fifth-year EGB students and the teacher of the Social Sciences subject.

It was possible to identify the null motivation of the student, for which a series of strategies were implemented through the use of digital tools where we created educational content such as presentations and synchronous activities, we achieved this through a learning management system "Jimdo", where the student was interested and motivated to improve their teaching-learning process. As stated in the previous paragraph, it indicates that the integration of ICT in education is becoming increasingly important and has grown in recent years and the use of these technologies in the classroom can be seen as a necessity. It is a basic work tool for teachers and students. The impact of adapting these tools in the classroom was analyzed, where it taught us how students are capable of showing interest in the Topic taught in class, where the teacher also visualizes these options to adapt in their classes. Therefore, it is concluded that the use of Jimdo as a Virtual Learning Environment allows feedback on the teaching-learning process, since the impact of adapting this tool was analyzed. These tools meet the expectations of students to develop their creativity and improve the reception of information in a creative and innovative way.
