Abstract

Educational digital applications have gained significant prominence
in recent years, and schools cannot remain on the sidelines. Likewise,
touch-screen devices such as smartphones and tablets are increasingly common in family, school, and work environments. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the benefits of digital applications in facilitating learning and improving academic performance among
secondary school students. This research was conducted at the Unidad
Educativa Particular Comandante Antonio José de Sucre through a cohort study with final-year secondary school students. The use of a digital application for studying human anatomy was evaluated and compared to a control group that employed conventional study methods. The results showed that the use of digital platforms improved
academic performance by 15.3% compared to traditional methods, with a 100% acceptance rate among students regarding the use of digital applications in their academic training.
