Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of digital technology on the teaching and learning process of physics in the medical and surgical degree program at the Centro Universitario de Occidente. METHOD: The research followed a pragmatic paradigm, mixed approach, descriptive scope, and sequential design. A quantitative sample of 281 students and a qualitative sample of 13 students and 4 teachers were studied using online questionnaires and interviews. RESULTS: Six influential factors were identified: appropriate use of digital resources, teaching strategies, student motivation, assessment and feedback, online collaboration, and virtual classroom organization. The most valued resources were tutorial videos, simulators, interactive presentations, digital documents, websites, and artificial intelligence. CONCLUSION: Educational technology contributes significantly to autonomous learning and understanding of physics, provided that its implementation is balanced with the pedagogical component without neglecting comprehensive training.
