Juegos didácticos como estrategia de apoyo a la enseñanza de matemáticas en séptimo año de educación general básica

Abstract

Learning with technology is easier, more comfortable, dynamic, inclusive and easy, we are in the midst of a digital age where technology plays a fundamental role, in education it provides tools for learning. This research project is based on the objective of knowing the impact that didactic games have on the teaching-learning process of the mathematics subject of students in the 7th grade of the “Clara Fernández Márquez '' school. Developing the educational game that is given with the name Pacman through the Sgame platform, where the student enters the game and upon entering it will find presentations, images and questions that will serve as feedback to the class that the teacher has given, traditionally in In mathematics, games are not used much less technology, which is why this research proposal has become interesting to see the result that students feel motivated, awaken their interest, and promote the use of technology in education since today Due to the pandemic that is going through the world, everything has become virtual the work environment, communication much more in the educational field, which for many has not been easy since they were used to face-to-face. Today, due to the global pandemic of covid -19, the modality of education has changed to virtual, which is why students have been explained that they are not used to being in front of a computer and the teacher, because some of them do not they are trained in TICS to traditional teaching, with our research we seek to provide new work tools for education, with the application of an educational game to provide a comfortable, dynamic and interesting environment for the student. It is necessary for students to be involved with technologies since it allows them to develop their abilities and skills, since ICTs have become a fundamental part not only of education but in all the limits of our lives. For the present investigation, two qualitative and quantitative approaches have been used, instruments have been put into practice for data collection (Interview with the teacher and student survey) these were applied to the sample of our investigation which was made up of 28 students from the seventh year of basic education at the “Clara Fernández Márquez” School in the city of Machala. To develop the prototype, the ADIE model was implemented, which includes the correct characteristics to develop our application. Currently we are in a society that is constantly updated, so it is important that educational institutions promote training in teachers so that they are aware of the new educational tools to be able to apply them in their classroom. It is hoped that the educational game is improved for the teaching-learning process in the subject of mathematics and generates interest and motivation in students, it is essential that teachers develop skills in the use of new technologies.
