In Ecuador, this phenomenon has taken on particular significance due to the need to expand access to higher education, strengthen student retention, and ensure quality standards in increasingly digitized contexts. The objective of this article is to analyze the opportunities and challenges that digital transformation presents for equity in Ecuadorian higher education. The research was conducted using a qualitative documentary methodology, based on the analysis of scientific literature, institutional reports, and regulatory documents published between 2020 and 2025. The results show progress in expanding educational access, making curricula more flexible, strengthening digital competencies, and fostering pedagogical innovation. However, challenges persist regarding the digital divide, socioeconomic inequalities, connectivity limitations, and the need to strengthen teachers’ digital competencies. It is concluded that digital transformation can become a mechanism for promoting educational equity, provided it is accompanied by inclusive public policies, sustained investments in technological infrastructure, and institutional strategies aimed at ensuring educational quality.</p> 2026-06-09T00:00:00-04:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Revista Iberoamericana de educación http://revista-iberoamericana.org/index.php/es/article/view/373 Influence of pre-sports games on the development of social skills: a study in a school context 2026-06-05T12:49:08-04:00 Iraisa Rocío Macías Asqui imaciasa3@unemi.edu.ec Eduardo Alvarez Panta ealvzarezp6@unemi.edu.ec Luiggi Wladimir León López Luigi.leonlug@edu.ec <p style="font-weight: 400;">The purpose of this study is to analyze how pre-sports games influence the development of social skills in middle school students. A quantitative approach is used, employing a quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design with a single group of 50 students. Data was collected using a Likert-type questionnaire, validated through expert review and demonstrating adequate reliability. The results show significant improvements in social skills after the intervention, as post-test scores were higher than pre-test scores. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed statistically significant differences (p &lt; 0.001), while Spearman's rank correlation coefficient identified a moderate-to-strong positive correlation (ρ = 0.65) between the practice of pre-sports games and the strengthening of social skills. Based on these findings, it is suggested that pre-sports games function as a favorable pedagogical strategy to promote cooperation, communication and teamwork, in addition to contributing to the integral development of the student and a better school coexistence.</p> 2026-06-05T00:00:00-04:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Revista Iberoamericana de educación
