Abstract
This research aims to analyze the impact of innovative pedagogical strategies for the development of digital skills in the technical bachelor’s degree in computer science, within the context of an Ecuadorian tax college. The study based on a technical education, starts from the need to overcome traditional practices, integrate current technological tools and promote the practical application of computer skills. Through a methodological proposal that incorporates active methods such as the flipped classroom, project-based learning and mainly gamification in order to adapt to current needs. This is intended to enhance learning and student autonomy. This intervention is expected to help close digital skills gaps, strengthen the link between theory and practice, and promote contextualized and sustainable teaching, achieving educational innovation. The present proposal offers a viable alternative to the structural limitations of the public education system, while promoting a didactic transformation geared to the challenges of the 21st century.
