THE CHALLENGE OF RURAL EDUCATION IN THE FACE OF TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Rural education in Colombia presents many challenges and disadvantages compared to the reality presented by education in urban areas in our country, which is why a study is shown that has as its general objective: To understand the challenges that technology poses for school environments in rural areas in the Colombian territory. Therefore, it is essential to carry out a documentary review of the aspects that have a positive and negative impact on the teaching of children and adolescents in these scenarios, in addition to knowing the potentialities and possibilities offered by the incursion of technology in rural schools. Among the results, the researchers express that the necessary electronic devices can be established to take advantage of the benefits offered by technology in schools that are located in rural areas, because in this way the teaching and learning processes will be updated and optimized, which will result in better results in the academic activities assigned to students and in the comprehensive education of students. In conclusion, emphasis should be placed on promoting the progressive improvement of the school realities experienced and lived in rural educational institutions, and another option is to implement didactic strategies based on play that aim to maintain joy, attention and motivation in the classroom, and that, in turn, can be alternated with those derived from the use of technologies.
