Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos y el uso de herramientas tecnológicas para la enseñanza de las ciencias experimentales

Abstract

Abstract: The present study focuses on Project Based Learning (PBL) and the use of technological tools in the teaching of experimental sciences. The objective is to analyze how these approaches strengthen the teaching-learning process in this area. The research was carried out in two educational institutions in the province of Pichincha: "Colegio Técnico Eduardo Salazar Gómez", and "Unidad Educativa Corazón de María". A sample of 20 teachers was selected, who participated in the application of new teaching methodologies supported by educational technologies. The research highlights the need to integrate these innovative methodologies into the school curriculum to improve academic results and promote a more comprehensive education. In the research, the different methods that were used were inductive, deductive, analytical, synthetic and hermeneutical methods. The results show that the implementation of PBL, combined with technological tools, not only improves the understanding of scientific concepts, but also increases the motivation and active participation of students. This approach allows students to acquire practical and theoretical skills more effectively, promoting more meaningful and contextualized learning.
