Introduction: Technological advancement has significantly transformed educational systems globally, redefining teaching methods and access to information. This study analyzes how technological development affects meaningful learning at the "Brasil Leónidas García" Educational Unit during the 2023-2024 period. The concept of meaningful learning, proposed by Ausubel, focuses on the integration and understanding of knowledge within the individual's cognitive structure. Objective: To analyze the influence of technological development on meaningful learning in the context of the "Brasil Leónidas García" Educational Unit. Methodology: A cross-sectional study design was used, surveying students and teachers about the use of technology in the classroom and its perceived impact on learning. The sample included 100 participants selected through stratified random sampling. Data were quantitatively analyzed using descriptive statistics. Main Results: The majority of students (73%) reported that teachers use technology "sometimes" in the teaching-learning process. Fifty-seven percent of students and the same percentage of teachers considered that technology enhances meaningful learning. However, 34% of students and 39% of teachers indicated that facing challenges in integrating technology into classes is something that occurs frequently or occasionally. General Conclusion: Technology has the potential to positively impact meaningful learning, although its effective implementation faces challenges. Coherent and adequate integration of technology is essential to maximize its benefits in learning. It is crucial to address barriers such as insufficient training and resistance to change to ensure that technology is used effectively in the educational context.
