Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study aimed to identify the strategies used to integrate technology in the on the training of preschool graduates, as well as the most used technological resources, their advantages, and disadvantages. A systematic review was carried out, according to the foundations of the PRISMA declaration, of the works indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus and ProQuest databases between 2010 and 2021. The results show that the main strategies used are integration of technology in curricula, training courses outside the program and integration of technology in classroom teaching processes. Likewise, it has been found that use and integration of technology during the training process strengthens the pedagogical practices of graduates in their classrooms.
