La Enseñanza Religiosa Escolar y su influencia en el logro de aprendizajes significativos en los estudiantes de Tercero de bachillerato en la Unidad Educativa Santa Mariana de Jesús de Guaranda durante el año lectivo 2024 -2025

Abstract

Abstract: The research examined the pedagogical methodology implemented in School Religious Education (ERE) and its impact on the meaningful learning of third-year high school students at the Santa Mariana de Jesús Educational Unit during the 2024-2025 period. A quantitative, non-experimental methodology was used, based on structured student surveys. The findings indicated that active and inclusive tactics, such as project-based learning, enhance the understanding of values ​​and ethical principles by connecting content to student reality. However, discrepancies were detected in the implementation of pedagogical methodologies and in the connection of content to the students' academic environment. The conclusions underscored the importance of training educators in innovative methodologies and designing tailored activities that promote critical reflection. The incorporation of technological tools and the promotion of an inclusive approach are suggested with the aim of improving the quality of School Religious Education (ERE) and ensuring meaningful learning for all students.
