Integración de las TICS en la educación musical para los estudiantes de 3ero Bachillerato

Abstract

This study addressed the problem of the limited integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in music teaching in the third year of high school at the Teodoro Kelly Educational Unit, located in Durán, Ecuador. The main objective was to design and validate an ICT-supported teaching strategy to strengthen students' musical skills. A mixed-method case study methodology was used, utilizing questionnaires, interviews, and direct observation to collect data from 30 students and one teacher. The most notable result was the observable improvement in creative expression and active participation during a pilot test of the proposed strategy, which integrated gamification elements and accessible technological tools. It is concluded that adequate teaching planning that incorporates ICTs favors musical learning and increases motivation, creativity, and academic performance.
