Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the use of the interactive whiteboard (DIW) as a teaching resource for teachers to determine the level of knowledge, advantages, disadvantages and incidence of DIW to be used in the teaching-learning process. The field work was carried out in the Millennium Educational Unit Paiguara, Canton Gualaceo, Azuay Province, Ecuador; teachers and students, male and female eighth, ninth and tenth General Basic Education participated in this research. The survey technique used was supported by google drive forms, a questionnaire for each study group was applied. It was identified that the level of knowledge about the use of DIW is low; teachers and students recognize that the DIW can reinforce the contents during classes; and disadvantages highlighted that DIW promotes distractions, it does not allow the application of practical work and it is used only as a mean to project videos. Among the positive influences manifested that encourage critical learning as a high percentage of teachers; however, it is believed that quality of the studentś tasks presentations is not improving, which is contradicted by the student's opinion. For the ones who are interested in improving the education system, the bases are on the experience and impacts of deploying resources of innovative technological tools, modifying recurrent paradigms of those who work on education and the ones who are benefited by it.
