The integration of ICT in primary social studies education presents both a challenge and an opportunity to enhance learning in response to the need to adapt traditional pedagogical strategies to an increasingly digitalized educational environment. This academic dissertation article examines the impact of ICT on primary social studies education worldwide. Through a documentary review of 20 recent studies (2018-2024) from scientific databases, the digital applications used, topics addressed, benefits, challenges, and recommendations for implementation were analyzed. The results reveal that tools such as videoconferencing platforms, interactive applications, and multimedia resources significantly improve students' motivation, academic performance, and development of 21st-century skills. However, challenges persist, including the digital divide, lack of teacher training, and inadequate technological infrastructure. It is concluded that the effective integration of ICT requires a holistic approach that includes continuous teacher training, infrastructure improvement, and development of innovative pedagogical strategies. The careful implementation of ICT can significantly enrich primary social studies education, preparing students for the challenges of the modern world.
