Proposals for the implementation of a guide on the use of interactive digital tools

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to provide the educational community with an accessible and rigorous resource that fosters the teaching and learning process. Through this guide, we seek to inform and inspire other educators and students to use new methodologies that enrich their pedagogical practice and prepare students to face the challenges of the 21st century. Methodology: A mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative) was used, employing descriptive, exploratory, and explanatory research methods. The methods used were inductive-deductive and analytical-synthetic. The survey technique was applied, and the instrument used was a questionnaire. The study focused on 30 students from the "Génesis" Educational Unit who were surveyed. Results and Discussion: Real data was found regarding the need to implement workshops on digital tools. One of the benefits of technology lies in its capacity for students to construct their own knowledge. The results encouraged commitment, dialogue, and interactivity, creating a productive and constructive environment for the students, generating a more didactic and emotional approach. Conclusions: The use of interactive technologies in education has been shown not only to help students acquire academic knowledge but also to allow them to develop essential 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and digital competence. Contribution: A methodological experience to share for the adoption and effective use of these technologies, which contributes to better preparation for facing the challenges of the future. This project represents an important step towards the modernization of education and the creation of more dynamic and effective learning environments.
