Aplicación móvil como estrategia didáctica para la enseñanza de matemáticas en decimo año de educación general básica

Abstract

One of the most difficult subjects to understand for students at the basic level is undoubtedly mathematics, since in some educational institutions they do not have any didactic strategy or technological tool, thus being one of the causes for this subject by of teachers since most continue to use traditional methods such as books and the blackboard, but due to digital globalization and the temporary closure of face-to-face classes, the best way to understand mathematics is by using interactive teaching strategies such as; The mobile applications that are used today within the teaching-learning processes for mathematics or other subjects, these applications allow us to access interactive content and a better interaction between teacher and student, in which you can learn anywhere and moment that we want, whether it is aulic or not aulic. In addition, the use of these applications allows us to know the needs of each student, which allows the methodology to be customized according to their needs, through these innovative strategies with technology, students and teachers will develop digital skills that will strengthen the learning process of The subject. For this reason, the idea of ​​an educational mobile application arises from a need presented by the tenth grade students of the Educational Institution, for which the present research focuses on developing an educational mobile application as a didactic strategy for the teaching of mathematics, For the development, the Android Studio platform was used, once developed, the mobile application has been put to the test, to ensure that every need of the users is met, which in this case are the tenth-year students of the School of Education Basic General "Eva Batallas de Falquez", located in the Pasaje canton of the Oro province. For the research method, it was carried out through four phases for the development of the mobile application, which will allow us to make progress in each operation, the Kmath mobile application will provide content to students, in which these topics are aligned in accordance with the curricular documents of the area of ​​mathematics defined by the Ministry of Education of Ecuador. In addition, for the contents I have used free educational platforms such as YouTube and h5p that allow us to create interactive videos so that the student can understand the factoring exercises in a motivating and interactive way with their teacher. Google Drive will allow us to know the evolution of each student who has had in their learning of the mathematics subject through an assessment implemented in the Kmath mobile application, once the mobile application is developed, it is tested for interaction with students. Each of the phases carried out for this project has made it possible to obtain the necessary results to meet the objectives set and to know the improvements that the Kmath mobile application should have, which through surveys, both for experience I and experience II, carried out to the Tenth year students of the School of General Basic Education "Eva Batallas de Falquez", it was possible to obtain as a result that the mobile application Kmath can be used as a didactic strategy for the teaching of mathematics in Educational Institutions.
