Digital Whiteboards are a tool of new technologies that has been growing in the educational environment and have recently been implemented at the Technical University of Babahoyo (UTB). This research aims to analyze the recent use of the digital whiteboard (PD) as a technological tool for the learning process in comparison to a traditional acrylic whiteboard (PTA). The study was carried out in a total sample of 68 students from the third level of the Psychology degree at the UTB, of which Third A forms the control group (CG) and Third B the experimental group (EG). The study consists of a pretest and posttest experimental design. In the pretest, averages of 5.34:GC and 5.28:GE were obtained; while in the post-test, averages of 7.37:GC and 7.27:GE were obtained. The Shapiro Wick normality test was used in the pretest, subsequently the experimental treatment was applied, which consists of the instruction of the theme used in the tests with the use of the PD in the EG and the use of thePTA (absence of the PD) in the GC; Finally, the posttest is applied to contrast and analyze results. The GC improved its average rating by +2.03 points, while the EG improved its average rating by +1.99 points; The Hake Factor statistic (g) confirms the above, obtaining an average gain area of ??g:0.44 for the CG and g:0.42 for the EG; The Student Test statistic indicates a significant difference between before and after the experimental treatment. The results obtained from this research support that there is a learning gain with the use of PD, although slightly greater with PTA.
