La gamificación en los docentes de educación básica de la unidad educativa Ciudad de Machala del periodo académico 2019

Abstract

The TIC (Information Technology and Communication) is a set of technological tools that seek to facilitate the teaching process in students by creating new learning spaces where you can share, socialize and create concepts, based on the digital resources that predominate in the actuality. In the same way, it is necessary to understand the great importance of these platforms for the correct empowerment of knowledge. In this sense, it is determined that technological tools are fundamental in the cognitive process of learners. however, educators are neither prepared nor do they have the necessary skills to implement technological tools within the classroom. Due to this, many teachers find it difficult to uproot themselves from traditional paradigms, which is why it becomes a challenge for teachers, where they have the challenge of training and empowering themselves with digital resources to generate new, focused learning environments. in awakening motivation and interest in each student. In the same way, it is necessary to understand that if the incorporation of technological tools does not exist within the teaching-learning process, it will cause low academic performance in the learners and even school desertion, therefore, educators are in the responsibility of updating and expand your knowledge. For this reason, this research project focuses on the scarce use of digital resources to promote motivation in the area of Mathematics in the students of the Ciudad de Machala Educational Unit, in order to execute the proposed objective of Design a didactic guide of technological tools in the area of mathematics, addressed to teachers of the Educational Unit "Ciudad de Machala". In the same way, the research methodology is quali-quantitative with the descriptive, historical and bibliographic method that are part of the inquiry process to collect relevant information on the problem. Likewise, at this stage of the process, techniques and instruments were used, as well as a survey that is aimed at students, and an observation guide as a complement to know the reality of the classroom. The search for information allowed to broaden the knowledge about the problem that was raised from the beginning, obtaining as a result that teachers within the teaching-learning process use conventional resources of traditional models, in addition, they are not suitable to incorporate digital tools due to your lack of skills and abilities. Consequently, the analysis shows that students feel unmotivated to learn what causes inattention during classes. The lack of interest caused by the students is very notable, which means that new knowledge is not generated, due to the lack of Tic. Consequently, the problem is offered as a solution option to design a didactic guide of technological tools in the area of mathematics, with which it is intended to use a gamified methodology, aimed at teachers of the "Ciudad de Machala" Educational Unit, to promote motivation in students in the fifth year of basic general education. Therefore, this proposal is designed to promote motivation in the process of teaching mathematics to students, being feasible and easy to use for the teacher. However, educators are in need of implementing digital resources to promote the acquisition of new knowledge, together with the educational institution and community member such as parents to make a quality education a reality.
