Aplicación movil para potenciar la participación activa en el proceso de enseñanza del idioma inglés para octavo de básica

Abstract

MOBILE APPLICATION TO ENHANCE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING PROCESS FOR EIGHTH GRADE. SUMMARY The covid-19 health emergency has led our government to opt for online education as a means of disseminating knowledge in the face of prolonged confinement as a result of the pandemic. Civil servants who are rooted in educational institutions have had to cease their face-to-face activities to embark on their journey towards virtual education. During the development of the teaching process, students go through stages where their training lays the foundations of what they will acquire as skills and abilities that will allow them to outline and enhance a progressive change in their scaffolding. Technology in online education contributes to improve aspects of the teaching-learning process that favor their cognitive development without putting barriers in their way, reaching places where access to education is limited. Our project is a tribute to those who cannot be in class and yet their goals are to be educated with an online teacher. This would not be real without the help of ICT, as they allow us to use digital resources to develop activities in the virtual classroom. The educational community with its main actors (teacher/student) has benefited from digital resources that support the process of knowledge acquisition. This knowledge revolution has allowed us to solve problems that arise in our daily lives. The mobile application makes the classes more flexible, provides a point of distinction on what has been learned, the visualizations on the activities incite to the activity in a mechanical way. All this potential is exploited during the classes that enrich the motivation of students, encourage active learning and facilitate the acquisition of new knowledge. We also have the responsibility to ensure the proper use and practice of technology through educational outreach and information ethics. The programming of mobile applications allows to strengthen cognitive skills where mental processes are nurtured by thinking and reflection. This relationship is literally related to machine learning where the selected processes are fully sequenced or automated. The creation of digital content allows to solve situations where it is required to achieve objectives, already marked by making use of images, graphics, videos, audios, etc. All these resources facilitate the work of creating content necessary for activities where customization is the key word for its development. New technologies open up a world of possibilities in terms of innovation, improving what already exists today. Traditional resources have been replaced to some extent by a world no stranger to digitization where automation and artificial intelligence play an important role for the future of education as any structure has been strengthened over time. The digital divide could be seen during our interaction in various sectors of society where the deficiencies in infrastructure and the difficulty to have access to technological devices pushes them to be digitally illiterate this can be seen in societies where governments do not implement systems for the acquisition of technology. The perception of the students about the mobile application is totally acceptable and generates in the students an attractive motivator and active participant that contributes to improve the learning experience using ICT.
