Químicapp como recurso educativo digital para fortalecer la retroalimentación de la asignatura de química en bachillerato

Abstract

This research is framed in the use of Digital Educational Resources RED and its incidence in the educational context, in this case it seeks to provide new alternatives to students and teachers to create an enriching and meaningful teaching and learning process. This involves determining the influence of these resources to achieve the learning objectives set out in the curricular planning of each subject, therefore, this research work is based on the need to create an educational mobile application as a support tool for students, considering as the main objective of this research, the development of an educational mobile app called "QuímicApp" with which it is intended to strengthen the feedback process of the students of the first year of high school, parallel "C" of the high school "Juan Montalvo", parish of providence, Machala canton, province of El Oro, In this way contribute to the development of student learning and even more in a fully online class system, that is why through the use of this app, the student can reinforce the content previously seen in class and remember any gaps that have been left during the classes of the subject, The contents were selected by the teacher of the institution, a specialist in the area of Chemistry, in which were considered fundamental issues that must prevail in the first high school students in order to pass and continue with the other levels of high school. Consequently, for the development of this research, we rely on the qualitative and quantitative approach, in order to obtain data through interviews and surveys and obtain more accurate results, to complement this study, we use the T-PACK and ADDIE methodologies, methods that were selected according to a thorough review based on the most effective methods for the development of prototypes with instructional design, that is, if a mistake is made or we want to correct any phase, we can do it without any problem, in addition, with the incorporation of these two methods we seek to integrate technology with a pedagogical vision in the prototype of "QuímicApp", taking into account each of the phases by which these methods are structured, in an effective and productive way in the process of teaching and learning of the subject of Chemistry. The results were obtained by applying two interactions based on the prototype, The first interaction was carried out with the teacher of the subject, to present the app and collect any observation or recommendation necessary for the improvement of the prototype, In the second interaction the students participated, where they interacted and performed the activities and evaluations proposed in the application, the data were collected and recorded in field notes, evidencing that the use of "QuímicApp" is totally favorable and in turn provides the opportunity for the student to give an air of innovation to what was previously known as a boring and repetitive teaching process to read from a book to feedback what was seen in class, that is why students have in this App a place to go when they want to feedback the knowledge already learned before in a dynamic, easy, interactive.
