Educational innovation in Dominican university classrooms

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze how technological and methodological innovations are transforming the educational process in universities in the Dominican Republic. The research was based on a qualitative and documentary approach, using literature review techniques to explore a variety of relevant sources, including databases such as SciELO, Latindex and Google Scholar. The results of the study highlight how the incorporation of emerging technologies and active methodologies is improving access to educational resources and fostering more dynamic and personalized pedagogical methods. These innovations enable teaching that is more tailored to the individual needs of students and promote more effective and lasting learning. The research concludes that the effective integration of these innovative strategies into higher education in the Dominican Republic can significantly transform educational quality, but requires an ongoing commitment to teacher training and institutional adaptation to ensure that the benefits are sustainable and effective. The need to continually evaluate the impact of innovations and provide adequate institutional support is critical to creating a more inclusive and equitable educational environment aligned with the goals of improvement and modernization in the Dominican Republic's higher education system.
