Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the impact of educational technologies on the transformation of pedagogical processes, focusing on identifying the main concepts, challenges, and benefits associated with integrating digital resources in educational institutions. Initially, the modernization of teaching was addressed, emphasizing the relevance of innovative methods that provided a more interactive and inclusive learning experience. The research used the bibliographic methodology, based on the guidelines of Narciso and Santana (2024). It consisted of the collection and critical analysis of information from articles, books, dissertations, and theses, which were selected based on strict criteria of topicality, relevance and credibility. This procedure allowed the systematization of the data and the construction of a solid theoretical basis that supported the understanding of the effects of digitalization in the school environment. The study found that the adoption of digital technologies has significantly transformed teaching methods, promoting the active participation of students and the restructuring of learning processes, although it highlighted the need for continuous investments in infrastructure and teacher training. It was concluded that educational technologies played a crucial role in the modernization of teaching, serving as a foundation for the implementation of effective pedagogical strategies and the development of dynamic school environments.
