Este trabajo utiliza una metodología cuasi-experimental para investigar cómo las metodologías educativas basadas en dispositivos móviles pueden contribuir a reducir desigualdades tecnológicas en zonas urbanas vulnerables del Perú. Para esto se implementó un programa a 78 alumnos de secundaria en tres colegios de Lima Metropolitana. Se utilizaron evaluaciones iniciales y finales para medir habilidades tecnológicas, desempeño académico y percepciones sobre la tecnología. Los hallazgos mostraron notables mejoras en competencias digitales (aumento del 42.7%, p < .001), especialmente en manejo de información y comunicación digital. El rendimiento escolar presentó incrementos sustanciales en matemáticas (27.3%) y comunicación (23.8%). El uso educativo de dispositivos móviles creció un 57.4%, con una clara relación entre tiempo de uso pedagógico y desarrollo de habilidades (r = .68, p < .001). La actitud hacia la tecnología mejoró considerablemente, disminuyendo un 38.2% la ansiedad tecnológica. En conclusión, las estrategias pedagógicas móviles, cuando se adaptan a necesidades locales y se acompañan de adecuada formación docente, se convierten en herramientas valiosas para disminuir desigualdades tecnológicas en contextos vulnerables. Por ello, se recomienda ampliar estos programas con adaptaciones contextuales y perspectiva de sostenibilidad a largo plazo.
This study employs a quasi-experimental methodology to investigate how mobile device-based educational strategies can help reduce technological inequalities in vulnerable urban areas of Peru. To this end, a program was implemented with 78 secondary school students across three schools in Metropolitan Lima. Pre- and post-assessments were used to measure technological skills, academic performance, and perceptions of technology. The findings revealed significant improvements in digital competencies (a 42.7% increase, p < .001), particularly in information management and digital communication. Academic performance showed substantial gains in mathematics (27.3%) and language arts (23.8%). Educational use of mobile devices increased by 57.4%, with a clear relationship between pedagogical usage time and skill development (r = .68, p < .001). Attitudes toward technology improved considerably, with a 38.2% decrease in technology-related anxiety. The study concludes that mobile pedagogical strategies, when adapted to local needs and supported by adequate teacher training, are valuable tools for reducing technological inequalities in vulnerable contexts. It therefore recommends expanding such programs with contextual adaptations and a long-term sustainability perspective.
