Abstract

The central thesis of this research is the need to transform traditional biology teaching to improve the learning of the cell concept among 45 fifth-grade students at the Loperena Garupal Educational Institution through the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The aim is to overcome the routine and demotivation generated by passive methodologies focused on writing and memorization. The methodology is framed within a qualitative approach and is based on Technological Research design, under the perspective of social constructionism. The methodological path unfolds in three phases: Diagnosis, through the application of surveys to measure perceptions of the teaching; Design, through literature review and the creation of a digital didactic proposal, materialized in an interactive website; and Evaluation and theoretical reflection on the potential of the designed strategy. The study sample consists of 45 fifth-grade students. The initial findings from the diagnostic assessment revealed profound demotivation and boredom among biology students, linked to the extensive content and constant writing required. However, a strong need for a change in teaching strategy was identified, along with a significant inclination towards the use of technological resources such as videos, games, and simulations as a more engaging and effective learning tool. The study projects that the integration of ICTs will foster intrinsic motivation, visual thinking, and meaningful learning of the cell concept.
