Uso didáctico de las TIC y su impacto en el aprendizaje de Matemáticas en estudiantes de tercer grado de Educación General Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This study investigated the educational use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their impact on mathematics learning in third-grade students in General Basic Education, based on a perspective rooted in actual teaching practice. The methodology was based on a quantitative descriptive approach to obtain quantifiable data. A questionnaire was administered to a total of 20 elementary school teachers in public schools in the province of El Oro. The objective was to examine the impact of the didactic use of ICT on mathematics learning in elementary school students in General Basic Education, with an emphasis on understanding concepts and developing logical thinking. It was evident that the pedagogical potential of ICT is recognized, but its integration in the classroom is still limited, irregular, and mostly instrumental. In other words, technological resources have not been consolidated as mediators of mathematical learning due to factors such as insufficient digital pedagogical training, infrastructure limitations, unequal access to technological resources, and the absence of contextualized teaching models.
