In response to this context, we investigated the positive effect of the didactic use of the Publisher processor to enhance meaningful learning in the competence "explain the physical world based on scientific knowledge about matter and energy, biodiversity, earth and universe" of the science and technology area in fifth grade students of secondary education of a Public Educational Institution of Chiclayo (Peru). For this purpose, a pre-experimental design with pre- and post-test was used with a sample of 102 students selected in a non-probabilistic way. A program based on activities incorporated in learning experiences proposed by the Ministry of Education (Peru) was applied. As a result, 72% of the students increased their academic performance after the application of the program, improving up to five (5) points compared to the initial test. Thus, the development of didactic material using the Publisher processor strengthens learning, which highlights the importance of information technologies in the achievement of active learning and the need to use them in the processes of mediation, reinforcement and teacher feedback in virtual and/or face-to-face scenarios.

Therefore, the peculiarities of education must be significant, in this sense, the teacher's role is to adapt the necessary elements for the student to be the actor, not only of his own learning, but also to be able to relate to his peers in his educational task; for this, it is required that the educational process be intensive, planned, systematic, considering individualities, interests and problematic situations of each student (Changoluisa, 2021). The coronavirus pandemic situation worldwide has had an impact on education, transforming it from face-to-face to virtual education, which teachers and students, who are directly involved, must assume as a challenge of the 21st century. One of the ways to respond to this context is with the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which, in its eagerness to face the challenge, favors communication between people, allows knowledge to be transferred quickly to any place in the world in record time; it also impacts on society, human activity and, above all, on education. In this line, teachers are called to use different strategies that respond to the demands of a virtual education, with the
