Herramientas digitales y su incidencia en la calidad educativa, en ciencias naturales, séptimo año, Escuela General Manuel Serrano, el Guabo, 2024-2025

Abstract

This thesis addresses the use of digital tools and their impact on the quality of teaching in the field of natural sciences. It explores how the integration of these technologies helps enrich learning processes, promoting deeper and more efficient student understanding to ensure quality education through the implementation of these tools in the classroom. This research aims to determine how digital tools impact the educational quality of the teaching-learning process in the subject of Natural Sciences. Regarding the methodology, the study adapts a quantitative-qualitative approach, since it integrates statistical analysis through tabulation and graphic representation, in terms of its level, it is explanatory since it identifies and analyzes the relationship between dependent and independent variables, it is correlational because correlations are established between both variables, descriptive because it details the population, situation or object of study and it is proactive because through the proposal, possible solutions to the problems of said research will be presented. It is documentary, because previous studies and documents related to the subject will be reviewed and field because the research instruments were applied at the General Manuel Serrano School. The same was carried out with several instruments such as: an interview directed to 4 teachers, a survey applied to the entire population of 139 students and an observation guide applied to the 4 seventh grade courses to verify if they implement digital tools in the classroom.Once the instruments were applied, the results showed that teachers do not consistently use digital tools in the classroom because they lack sufficient training in their use. Therefore, this study emphasizes teacher training to strengthen teachers' use of digital tools to improve pedagogical practice, the effective integration of technologies in the classroom, and increase student motivation and participation.In conclusion, this research offers a clearer view of the use of digital tools in the field of natural sciences, given that they transform the school environment, enhance learning, and stimulate student interest. Therefore, it is hoped that the results of this research will help teachers develop skills to foster more dynamic, interactive, and participatory education through the integration of digital tools in the classroom.
