Abstract
The present research aimed to analyze the impact of the digital tool WebQuest as support in the teaching and learning process of Natural Sciences for eighth-year students of Basic General Education at the Unidad Educativa 24 de Mayo, in the metropolitan district of Quito. Using a mixed approach, the perceptions of teachers and students about the tool were analyzed, showing improvements in motivation, content comprehension, and collaborative work. The intervention was structured in a didactic sequence that integrated digital resources and guided research strategies. The results obtained, validated through direct observation and feedback from participants, confirmed the effectiveness of the proposal and its relevance in school contexts. It is concluded that WebQuest promotes meaningful learning and can be a valuable strategy to integrate ICT in the classroom, provided it is accompanied by teacher training and contextualized planning.
