The most important challenges at the educational level are framed in the fulfillment of national and international quality standards, where technological literacy is a priority and the separation between science and technology creates gaps in education that prevent the student from experiencing the advantages of the application of ICTs when learning. Hence, the objective of this research is to demonstrate whether the application of the educational technique ExamTime contributes to the learning of botany, students of the First Semester, Andean Agricultural Career, the Higher Technological Institute "Jatun Yachay Wasi", June - October 2016, given that through it, content is organized in a logical manner, it develops the capacity for analysis and synthesis and structures its self-evaluation dynamically. In the development of this research, the methodology used was quasi-experimental, based on a bibliographic analysis including the review of similar works at national and international level, being able to work with an experimental group and a control group facilitated the comparative study, the technique of data collection was the checklist allowing to quantify the data and check the hypothesis based on the calculation of the difference of means, where an academic performance of the experimental group of 8.64 was obtained in relation to the control group of 5.06. From the results obtained, it was evidenced that by including ICTs in the educational process, the construction of meaningful learning is achieved by stimulating intellectual production, the creation of didactic sequences and the generation of new knowledge. Additionally, an alternative proposal was developed the Student's Guide for Botany Learning through the application of the ExamTime Educational Technique.
Actualmente la alfabetización tecnológica es una prioridad y la desvinculación entre la ciencia y la tecnología crea brechas en la educación que impiden al estudiante experimentar las ventajas de la aplicación de TIC ?s al momento de aprender. De ahí que el objetivo de esta investigación es demostrar si la aplicación de la técnica educativa ExamTime contribuye en el aprendizaje de Botánica, en los estudiantes de segundo y tercer semestre de la carrera de Biología, Química y Laboratorio de la UNACH, la metodología utilizada fue cuasi experimental, se realizó un trabajo comparativo entre grupo experimental y un grupo control para comprobar la hipótesis se usó la diferencia de Medias, donde se obtuvo un rendimiento académico del grupo experimental de 8,64 en relación al grupo control de 5,06. Se evidenció que al incluir las TIC ?s en el proceso educativo se consigue la construcción de aprendizajes significativos estimulando la producción intelectual, la creación de secuencias didácticas y generación de nuevos conocimientos.
