The implementation of ICT in the teaching-learning process

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the importance and benefits of the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in educational processes in order to help boost their introduction in the basic education schools of the city of Machala in Ecuador. The methodological strategy was based on the methods of scientific observation, documentary analysis, analytical-synthetic and statistical. The findings found through the documentary review make it possible to assert that a true implementation of these technologies in the teaching-learning process requires an integrating vision of educational policies, provision of the authorities of the school institutions, commitment of the teachers and students and infrastructure. technological through the semi-structured interview with 160 students, it was determined that the use of ICT in the classes is restricted to a group of resources and all the variety and didactic-methodological possibilities offered are not sufficiently exploited. The students limit their use to text processors, slide presentation programs and search engines for the completion of tasks; giving greater use to social networks, video games and e-mail for entertainment and leisure.
