Adaptación a la nueva economía de protocolos y aceleración del cambio en el sector de educación superior en Ecuador.

Abstract

The economy of protocols has emerged as an innovative approach in the field of higher education in Ecuador. In this context, the importance of adopting protocols and technological standards to optimize educational processes and promote efficiency in the use of resources has been recognized. This new perspective seeks to take advantage of digital technology and establish a framework for collaboration between educational institutions and students, aiming to improve the quality of education and promote academic and professional development. Currently, the implementation of protocols in higher education has generated important benefits. These protocols allow for greater transparency and traceability in educational processes, facilitating the monitoring and evaluating of students' academic performance. In addition, they promote the standardization of pedagogical practices, which facilitates the transfer of knowledge and experiences between institutions and contributes to the continuous improvement of teaching. However, despite the progress made, implementing the economy of protocols in higher education in Ecuador also faces important challenges. One of the main challenges is the digital divide, which limits equitable access to the technological tools and resources necessary to participate fully in virtual education. It is crucial to develop policies and programs that promote digital inclusion and ensure that all students have equal opportunities for access to education. Another important challenge is the resistance to change and the lack of teacher training in using technologies and protocols.
