Innovación educativa mediada por las tecnologías en el nivel primario

Abstract

Integrating educational technologies (ET) into classroom processes requires teachers trained not only pedagogically but also in digital skills. This article aimed to analyze the development of digital skills in primary school teachers and to effectively integrate educational technologies into the teaching and learning process. It employed a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods. The entire student population of the two participating schools was included. Data was collected through a questionnaire with open-ended and closed-ended questions using a Likert scale, as well as through observation. The findings demonstrated that teachers acquired digital skills in using the applications of the device known as the blue box, which facilitated its integration as a teaching resource in their pedagogical practices and significantly contributed to student learning. In conclusion, the development of digital skills in teachers promotes the effective integration of technological resources into classroom practices, strengthening the teaching and learning process and contributing to student learning. Furthermore, the results show that the use of these technological means depends on the teacher's digital training and their ability to implement them in a way that is relevant to their practice, which enhances both pedagogical practice and student learning.
