Abstract: DOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/yc.v9i16.0670 The study analyzed the impact of digital tools on pedagogical innovation applied to constructivist learning at the Universidad Estatal del Sur de Manabí. The objective was to determine how these technologies contribute to the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative learning skills. A mixed methodology was used, including participant observation, structured surveys, and document analysis, applied to 230 students. The results showed that integrating digital platforms such as Moodle, Microsoft Teams, and interactive tools enhanced learning autonomy, increased student participation, and improved content comprehension. Additionally, the use of digital resources fostered active pedagogical strategies, strengthening knowledge construction. However, challenges such as a lack of digital competencies among some students and the persistence of the digital divide were identified, limiting the full adoption of these tools. It is concluded that the proper implementation of educational technologies strengthens constructivist teaching and improves the learning experience but requires complementary digital training strategies and technological infrastructure to maximize its impact. Keywords: constructivist learning, digital tools, pedagogical innovation, higher education, learning autonomy.
