Technological tools in the development of skills and abilities in the subject of Entrepreneurship and Management

Abstract

In Ecuador, the subject of entrepreneurship and management is taught to students in the third year of the unified general baccalaureate. However, this subject is taught following a traditional line of text management and expositions that do not allow the student to approach a technology-based education. This study explored how technological tools can be used to improve the skills and abilities of high school students in the Tulcán Educational Unit, Ecuador. The research was carried out under a mixed approach with a descriptive, bibliographic and field scope. Survey and interview techniques were applied to students and teachers of the Institution. Based on the results, a virtual classroom proposal was designed in Moodle 4.1 to awaken the entrepreneurial spirit of students regarding the creation of web pages, logo design, creation of digital advertising, among others. This study concludes that the virtual classroom proposal contributes to improve the teaching-learning process in the subject of Entrepreneurship and Management, adapting to the needs of the students.
