Análisis de la brecha digital en la educación básica gubernamental, de la zona rural de Honduras en post pandemia en el departamento de Olancho

This study analyzes the digital divide in government basic education in rural Honduras, specifically in the department of Olancho, in the post-pandemic context; The research arises due to the difficulties faced by teachers and students in the transition to virtual education, evidencing the inequality in access to information and communication technologies. The main objective is to identify technological limitations, assess the digital skills of students and teachers, and propose strategies to improve the integration of ICT in learning. A mixed approach was used, with a non-experimental design and descriptive-correlational scope; surveys will be applied to students and teachers, as well as interviews with educational authorities, allowing a comprehensive view of the problem to be obtained. The results show that most students have technological devices, but educational institutions lack adequate infrastructure and stable access to the internet, which affects the continuity of learning; In addition, teachers have difficulties in the use of digital tools, which impacts the quality of teaching. It was identified that dependence on the internet influences the teacher-student relationship and learning autonomy. To reduce the digital divide, ICT training for teachers, improvement in technological infrastructure and the development of pedagogical strategies that allow an effective integration of digital tools in the classroom are proposed, promoting a more equitable education.
