Herramientas TIC para la motivación del aprendizaje en la educación religiosa escolar

“ICT tools for learning motivation in school religious education” focuses on how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can improve student motivation in religious education. The main objective is to revitalize the teaching of this subject, which has lost interest among students and teachers, by incorporating innovative digital tools. The study uses a qualitative methodology based on interviews with school religion teachers in the city of Medellin and an exhaustive analysis of literature on the use of ICT in education. Two types of motivation are highlighted: extrinsic (external rewards) and intrinsic (personal desire to learn), both of which are necessary to create an effective learning environment. ICT, properly applied, can act as a key motivational tool, enhancing student engagement and interest. The article also presents a list of ICT tools, such as Kahoot, Google Classroom and Canva, that can be used to make religious education more interactive and engaging. However, it is emphasized that the success of these tools depends largely on the creativity and commitment of the teacher. In conclusion, the research highlights that for ICTs to have a positive impact on motivation and learning, it is crucial that teachers receive continuous training and are willing to innovate in their pedagogical practice.
