    This research focuses on analyzing the impact of technology applied to physical activity on the academic motivation of students in Middle Basic General Education at Unidad Educativa Génesis, located in Ambato, Tungurahua province. The importance of this study lies in the search for innovative strategies that encourage active student participation and improve their academic engagement through technological tools like virtual reality. The main objective of the study was to determine how the use of technology in physical activity influences students' academic motivation. To achieve this, the research employed a quantitative, applied, pre-experimental, field-based, and longitudinal design. The sample consisted of 40 students, to whom the Motivational Assessment Questionnaire for the Learning Process (EMPA) was administered in both the pre-test and post-test phases to measure levels of intrinsic, extrinsic, and global motivation. During the intervention, physical activities using virtual reality headsets were implemented. These activities allowed students to interact in immersive and dynamic virtual environments, transforming traditional classes into more engaging and motivating experiences. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS 26 statistical software, applying descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon test to verify differences between the pre-test and post-test results. The findings revealed a significant increase in students' academic motivation levels after the intervention. In extrinsic motivation, most students progressed from low and medium levels to high levels, while intrinsic motivation showed a notable improvement in interest and enjoyment of physical activities. Global motivation also demonstrated significant improvements, reflecting the positive impact of technology on the learning process. In conclusion, the use of technology applied to physical activity, such as virtual reality headsets, enhanced students' academic motivation by making activities more interactive and engaging. This study provides evidence on how integrating technological tools into physical education classes can be an effective strategy to improve student engagement and performance in the school environment.
