Influencia del uso de las TIC en la implementación de prácticas pedagógicas innovadoras de los docentes en la educación rural de la parroquia Taday, durante el período académico 2025-2026

Abstract

Abstract: This research determined the influence of Information and Communication Technology (TIC) use on teachers' innovative teaching practices in rural education in the Taday parish. Through a mixed-methods approach, access to technology, digital skills, and teachers' perceptions of technological implementation in rural areas were observed. The results showed a promising situation and a pedagogical intervention strengthened by the use of digital devices. However, critical challenges were identified in classroom management due to technical failures and infrastructure limitations. Using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, the alternative hypothesis was confirmed, demonstrating a significant and positive relationship between TIC use and educational innovation, although limited by training and access to resources. Finally, a contextualized educational innovation proposal was designed to address the needs of the rural environment. This study provides evidence to strengthen local educational policies and teacher training programs, contributing to reducing the digital divide and promoting inclusive, equitable, and quality education in rural areas.
