Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the urgent need to adapt the Ecuadorian educational system to digital environments, revealing deficiencies in the technological training of teachers at the Jorge Icaza Educational Unit. This study focused on strengthening the Microlearning methodology with ICT resources. Through a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative), 26 teachers were surveyed and interviewed, and it was determined that the Microlearning methodology (14.28%) is less used and there is an interest in training on the operation of tools such as Powtoon, Canva and Kahoot, for a correct application. The training was structured in three units: Help tools (Powtoon, Padlet, and Mentimeter), Content creation (Canva, Genially, Prezzi) and evaluation (Educaplay, Wordwall, and Kahoot). The results showed a significant progress in the development of digital skills (96.1%) of teachers, valuing the training plan positively, since the selected tools optimized teaching time, facilitated the creation of interactive materials, streamlined the evaluation process in a dynamic and personalized way, generating interest in students and adapting to different learning styles.
The flexibility of this methodology, together with the use of ICT tools, allowed for more relevant and student-centered learning. Finally, 92.31% of the teachers were able to improve their professional performance by promoting the use of Microlearning and ICTs in the classroom, which are appropriate to face educational challenges and guarantee quality education in crises.
