Revista InveCom [online]. 2025, vol.5, n.2, e502098.  Epub Apr 04, 2025. ISSN 2739-0063.  https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13926744.

This research was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the perception of nursing students at the Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí (ULEAM), Pedernales extension, regarding the possible incorporation of 3D technology in the teaching of morphophysiology. Using a mixed approach, the research focused on understanding the attitude of students towards this technology and its potential impact on the learning process through a survey applied to a sample of 70 individuals, this analysis was complemented with the incorporation of these data in SPSS software, which indicated a significant mean of 67.371 and a high reliability of results (0.877 in Cronbach's coefficient); in addition, the significance is 0.000 which approves the alternative hypothesis of this research. The qualitative analysis was carried out by means of interviews with technology personnel, the dean and teachers, and significant barriers were identified, such as the lack of infrastructure, the need for more research in this area and the training of teachers in the 3D technology environment. The main limitation of the study is the sample size, suggesting the need for future post-implementation research to assess the real impact of 3D technology.

Keywords : 3d technology; teaching-learning; student perception; nursing education.
