THE ROLE OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES IN IMPLEMENTING ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES

Abstract

The present research investigates the relevance of mobile technologies as a fundamental support for the implementation of active methodologies in contemporary teaching. The debate focuses on the portability and interactivity of these devices, which allow the integration of gamification elements in diverse areas such as health, mathematics, natural sciences, and linguistic education. Through a qualitative analysis based on a bibliographic survey, experience reports in higher and basic education that use apps and digital games to increase engagement are examined. The results indicate that the use of mobile devices favors collaborative learning and digital inclusion by offering resources such as quizzes and artificial intelligence adapted to the student's pace. The investigation highlights that mobile technological support overcomes geographical barriers and encourages active participation in distance and face-to-face education contexts. The offered reflections seek to subsidize the construction of innovative pedagogical practices that use mobile technology to transform the school environment into a space for constant participation.
