Gamificación y aprendizaje cooperativo en la enseñanza de ciencias sociales en el 5to año EGB de la Escuela María Montessori de la parroquia Tenguel

Abstract

The advances of technological educational tools have become a main axis in the field of educational institutions, the different technological resources have made educational institutions see themselves in turns in a process of need, due to the high rate of failures in the management of technological tools. Due to giving support to the different needs that the educational institution requires, it has been made a fundamental piece during the investigation process, which was socialized with authorities of the institution to solve the improvement of learning in the subject of social studies for the 5th year EGB at the María Montessori school. Therefore, an application was created that provides the student with the understanding of content according to the books of the subject, likewise the design of the application is directed along with gamification in order to create a motivating and interactive environment. for each student, in this way the application was structured according to the previous guidelines, where the application was named (GAMICIALES), based on gamification and social studies. This application called Gamicials is intended for students to participate in the use and management of it, being that they will be manipulators of the tool in order to obtain updated teaching according to the advancement of technology. It becomes an innovative application guiding students to present an efficient performance, Gamicials has content to which slides and infographics will be displayed, likewise the application provides activity and evaluation so that each student develops to demonstrate their acquired knowledge during this learning process. This project reveals how important educational applications are for students, since it encourages each participant to be the fundamental axis in their own learning. The respective project aims to design the application using the App Inventor tool, which provides a feasible programming language for the design of an interactive and functional application. This makes it easier to structure templates and at the same time design according to each function that needs to be incorporated. App Inventor allows you to develop how each button or text label is going to be programmed so that each template is consistent with the model that is going to be presented. The investigation will reveal each process that was carried out during the entire interaction, from the fulfillment of each guideline to the visualization of the application to the students in the company of the teacher in charge of the subject, in this way each step is concluded. This project provides in order to solve the different problems presented by the educational institution. Finally, the different events that occurred during the meetings corresponding to the moment of incorporating the Gamicial application will be visualized, to which the efficiency of the Application is presented, expelling positive results by the teacher and the student, where it is evidenced in the respective collection of data from this research, in this way each process that is presented during this project is validated, in this way the research becomes an axis of knowledge and acquisition of learning for professional goods.
