Educational and technological resources in higher education at Uleam Extensions and Campuses
Keywords:
Education, Research, Resources, Teaching and learningAbstract
The use of educational and technological resources by faculty has become a fundamental element in strengthening teaching and learning processes, enabling the diversification of teaching strategies, improving content comprehension, and promoting student participation. The objective of this research was to analyze how faculty members use the didactic and technological resources at the extensions and campuses of the Eloy Alfaro Lay University of Manabí during the 2025 academic year. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, drawing on both inductive and deductive methods. The results show that faculty members frequently incorporate technological and didactic resources into their classes, recognizing their importance in energizing the educational process. However, the reality is that the quality of higher education depends not only on the availability of technological resources but also on the faculty's ability to use them in a planned, coherent manner, oriented toward future meaningful institutional learning.
