VILLAMAR IRRAZABAL, María Dolores; OTERO AGREDA, Omar Efrén  and  NIVELA CORNEJO, María Alejandrina. Changes in the technology used in education over time. Horizontes Rev. Inv. Cs. Edu. [online]. 2021, vol.5, n.21, pp.58-71. ISSN 2616-7964.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistahorizontes.v5i21.284.

The objective of this research was to describe the changes that occurred in the technology used in education from 1980 to the present in Ecuador. Methodologically, an informative documentary study was carried out, the bibliometric study was carried out, obtaining 57 documents after applying selection criteria. The theme was used as the unit of analysis, carrying out a thematic content analysis. As a result, the categories were described: educational software, Multimedia support, Videogames, Internet, Wireless technology, Learning Management System, Virtual reality, and, Content management systems and social networks. It could be deduced from the bibliography studied that the technologies used in education in Ecuador do not go hand in hand with emerging technologies. It was concluded that these changes have gone from the most elementary technologies to the most complex and updated; however, their incorporation into education is always slow compared to technological evolution.

Keywords : Education; Internet; Learning Management System; Technology; Emerging technologies.
