Abstract

Abstract: Lately, virtual teaching presents difficulties in maintaining the student's attention, this is due to the scarcity and inconsistent use of TICs, causing disinterest and consequently low academic performance. The research is focused on analyzing the benefits of the Genially tool in relation to motivation, collaborative work, comprehension and academic results obtained in the subject of Social Sciences in middle school students. The methodological approach is quantitative, since descriptive analysis and comparison statistics are used, through the application of an instrument to thirty students, with a Likert scale, twenty-five items and divided into four categories. The results obtained indicate a high level of acceptance when considering Genially as a useful tool that affects motivation, understanding, and improvement in academic performance. In fact, it is concluded that the application of interactive digital tools in the classroom attenuates demotivation and disinterest. Therefore, the proposal for innovation in teacher training, good digital practices and appropriate use of TICs in the classroom, from the conceptual innovation of the TAC and TEP has been raised.
