USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN SECONDARY EDUCATION STUDENTS

Keywords: Technologies, Information, Communication, Secondary Education

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze the use of information and communication technologies by secondary school students. The theoretical contributions of Creswell and Poth (2018), Morrissey (2011), Burbules and Callister (2001), Flick (2018), and Sarasola (2024), among others, were used. The paradigm employed was post-positivist with a qualitative approach and a phenomenological method. The key informants were eight (8) secondary school students from the Mi Ángel de la Guarda Educational Unit, located in the city of Cabimas, Zulia State, whose ages ranged from 12 to 17 years. The data collection technique was in-depth interviews, and the analysis techniques were triangulation and categorization. The findings showed that information and communication technologies used by middle school students have the potential to foster personalized and active methodologies, such as inclusive education or project-based learning, that are better suited to the varied needs of middle school students.
