Introduction: The articulation between education and technologies is of great relevance to the changes in society. At the global level, various nations and their educational systems converge towards a cutting-edge technological proposal, so that technology is coupled in a pedagogical role within the teaching and learning process. Objective: Relate the use of educational technologies with an academic performance before and during confinement by COVID-19 in the subject of mathematics in elementary school students in the Colombian Caribbean Region. Methods: The sample consisted of 80 students, to whom the educational technologies questionnaire used during confinement was applied and the information on academic performance was provided by the registration and control office. The data analysis was carried out by applying descriptive statistics, the data before and during confinement was analyzed applying Student’s T-test, and to establish the relationships between the variables, use of educational technologies, and academic performance, the Pearson correlation analysis was performed. Results: A moderate positive significant correlation was found between the assessment that the participants assign to technology and academic performance during confinement. Conclusions: Moderate and slight negative statistically significant correlations were found between student academic performance and the hours of use, as well as the tools for learning mathematics.

The present research seeks to analyze the relationship between the variables working memory, sustained attention, and academic performance.
