Uso de las TIC como ayuda al consolidador para realizar seguimiento de la lectura y actividades de las Casas de Paz en el Centro Cristiano de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The research analyzes the challenges faced by the "Houses of Peace" since 2017, primarily the lack of time and the difficulty coordinating meetings between consolidators and consolidated members, which affect the program's effectiveness. The study proposes the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to improve coordination, activity monitoring, and participation. The objective is to determine how ICTs can support consolidators in monitoring readings and assignments. The research was conducted at the Christian Center of Loja, applying qualitative and quantitative methods, primarily surveys of consolidators on the use and impact of ICTs. The results show that tools such as messaging applications and digital platforms facilitate communication, optimize meeting scheduling, and increase participant engagement. In conclusion, the use of ICT not only helps solve coordination and time management problems, but also enriches the educational and spiritual experience of those who participate in the "Houses of Peace" program.
