Abstract

At Hemisferios University's postgraduate program in dentistry, specializing in maxillofacial radiology, located in the city of Quito, it has been observed that teachers, upon becoming acquainted with educational digital tools, do not effectively use them with students. As a result, the teaching-learning process becomes unattractive and traditional, lacking interactive and meaningful education.


Given the emergence of new educational paradigms such as artificial intelligence (AI) and information and communication technologies (ICT), it is essential to incorporate changes in teaching-learning processes to align with the comprehensive education of students.


In addition to acquiring knowledge in their respective areas, teachers must achieve an optimal level of digital competencies. The use of ICT applied in education should foster collaborative and meaningful learning. Therefore, it is essential to emphasize the importance of providing a technological literacy training plan for teachers, considering current trends that facilitate students' general access to multiple mobile applications, devices, and tablets, among others. Hence, it is considered necessary for teachers to appropriately handle technological tools, considering new changes and advancements in informatics.
