- Abstract
Quality Education (QE) is the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 4) established by the United Nations, which seeks to ensure quality, inclusive, and equitable education for all. Despite its importance in facing the challenges of society, QE is not offered to the population equitably and democratically, especially to the most vulnerable people and those living in remote areas. In this regard, the use of Educational Technology (EdTech) has been encouraged to improve the teaching‐learning process and promote the achievement of SDG 4. This work proposes a framework containing recommendations for EdTech to contribute to the development of QE. The framework was developed from the systematization of pillars related to the main EdTech categories identified through the content analysis method. The main scientific contribution of this work is the deepening and broadening of the theory that associates EdTech with QE, providing new bases for the further development of research on the subject. This work also contributes to the development and achievement of SDG 4 through the framework with recommendations for democratizing access to education and improving students' academic performance.
