La alfabetización digital y su incidencia del aprendizaje autónomo en el nivel de bachillerato

The research makes reference that addresses the importance of digital literacy and its impact on the autonomous learning of high school students, highlighting its relevance in an increasingly digitalized world, digital literacy not only involves the technical handling of technological tools, but also the ability to use them in a critical, ethical and reflective way to access, analyze and share information. This competence is essential to promote autonomous learning where students take control of their educational process, setting goals and evaluating their progress. In the Ecuadorian context, the Digital Education Agenda 2021-2025 seeks to integrate technologies into the educational system, promoting an inclusive digital culture. Challenges such as the digital divide persist, especially in rural areas, and the lack of teacher training in the use of digital tools. Despite these obstacles, strategies such as the creation of open digital educational resources and teacher training programs have been implemented. Research conducted in the Chone district analyzes the relationship between digital literacy and autonomous learning, identifying that students with greater digital skills show a better ability to manage their learning; however, it is necessary to overcome barriers such as lack of infrastructure and resistance to pedagogical change. In conclusion, it is crucial to prioritize educational policies that combine investment in technology, teacher training, and innovative curriculum design to ensure equitable access and critical use of digital tools, thus strengthening autonomous learning in the 21st century.
