Since their emergence and rapid development, digital technologies have brought about a revolution in all areas of society, including important innovations in the context of formal, non-formal and informal education. This doctoral thesis focuses on a very specific aspect related to the impact of digitalisation in formal contexts and that is the creation and development of Smart Learning Environments (Smart Learning Environments). The research problem around which this research revolves is the development of these environments in the Spanish educational context. The research objectives established in the framework of this doctoral thesis are: to analyse the academic impact of gender equality education through ICT; to analyse the state of development of Smart Learning Environments; to analyse the implementation of the Classrooms of the Future in Spain; and also, to identify the similarities and differences of the implemented Classrooms of the Future with respect to the theories and models of Smart Learning Environments. Regarding the method, on the one hand, a documentary research has been carried out through a systematic review technique. Generally, the PRISMA statement and the PICoS strategy have been used as a methodological framework. On the other hand, exploratory research has been considered. Specifically, we opted for a survey-type design based on an ad hoc questionnaire. This was applied to a total of 66 teachers working in Classrooms of the Future in Spain. The statistical analysis has been descriptive and correlational. With regard to the initial results, it is clear that the development of initiatives supported by technologies, which are longitudinal and adaptable, is necessary for training in gender equality. A model of Intelligent Learning Environments was then developed based on five dimensions and validated by expert judgement. Based on this model, the experiences of Classrooms of the Future implemented in Spain were analysed, and it was found that they are spaces that above all use active methodologies, formative assessments and contemplate a wide range of technological resources. In relation to professional satisfaction, the teachers involved report high levels of satisfaction with the design, implementation and evaluation of the initiatives. Finally, it is also found that the implemented Classrooms of the Future should expand their advanced technologies, the experience of personalisation, and also the automation of processes. In general, this doctoral thesis highlights the educational concern that exists around the digitalisation, openness and flexibility of teaching based on the development of new educational environments. With all the findings, as well as with the model generated, numerous prospective views on research and innovation in the classroom are collected.
