Technology is changing the way we learn
People are diverse. And that diversity includes the way we perceive and process information.
At Globant, we want to highlight and understand all diversities. In this case, we’re looking into those that usually go undetected, such as neurodiversity.
Why? To understand how the learning experiences that we design impact and empower each individual.
Innovation is constant in the tech industry. Personalizing learning experiences is vital!
Are you ready to discover the education of the future?
One thing's for sure: We don't all learn in the same way.

Together we have verified how important is to measure and analyze what motivates people to learn, as well as the different ways in which they do it, in order to truly create inclusive learning experiences.
In an industry whose key is to innovate, we must also be ready to innovate in the ways we teach the people who make it up.At Globant, we work to reinvent the industry, and we believe that quality education from an inclusive, equitable, and diverse perspective is the way to do it. That's why we generate high-impact programs and initiatives, as well as promoting research and data that can enhance knowledge and encourage good practices in technology.
The study aimed to generate an initial mapping of learning preferences with a diversity focus in technology. For this purpose, conversations were held with teams, experts, and communities such as #UnlimITed, and we worked together with external specialists and consultants. An 11-question quantitative survey was designed and implemented through various communication channels. It circulated for three months (September, October, and November 2022). 2208 people responded (8.5% of the Globant population at that time) from the 23 countries where the company is present. The gender distribution was as follows: 64.8% male, 33.5% female, and 1.7% other gender identities. The study has a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 2%.
The analysis was carried out in SPSS and Google spreadsheets, which yielded percentages and a breakdown of the data into groups. Since the data did not meet the conditions for parametric analysis, non-parametric tests such as Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis were used to explore differences between groups.
