Aplicación móvil para el aprendizaje de matemáticas del 5to. año de EGB de la Escuela Augusta Mora de Franco

Abstract

This research project was carried out in the School of Basic Education "Augusta Mora de Franco" in the city of Machala, with the participation of Maria Esther Peña Bravo and the participation of 35 students who make up the fifth year of EGB. During the Ccovid-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Education opted for teachers to provide online classes and that students can receive classes from the comfort of their homes so as not to risk this disease. It should be noted that ICTs are currently being incorporated into the educational context, bringing with it innovative changes, new tools and technological resources that allow students to stengthen their learning. Mobile Applications are educational technological tools that in the online modality are being incorporated in the development of the class with the objective that the student stengthens the learning process through the resolution of mathematical exercises. By implementing mobile Applications in the development of the class, we intend that students interact and participate, with the aim of strengthening meaningful learning, since the use of mobile Apps is an innovate tool. Therefore, as a group of researchers, we pose the question: How to strengthen the learning of basic operations in ths subject of mathematics in the students of the 5th year of EGB of the School of Basic Education "Augusta Mora de Franco" in the city of MACHALA? That is why we decided to develop a mobile Application that contains of the basic operations of the sbject mathematics in order to achieve motivation, interaction and high participation by students, which is why the general objectiveof this project is to create a mobile Application called "Maths" through App Inventor to strengthen the kearning of divisions in the Fifth Year of EGB in the School of Basic Education "Augusta Mora de Franco". In order to demonstrate the degree of satisfaction with the mobile Application, the qualitative Approach was based on an interview with the teacher in online mode consisting of 9 open questions and a quantitative survey was Applied to tha students which was composed of 6 closed questions of yes and no since they are students from 8 to 9 years of age, where through the answers they indicated that the mobile Application is an interactive and intuitive technological tool for its colors, images, exercises and a game. With the results obtained it was possible to conclude that the teacher of the institution will incorporate the Maths mobile Application in the subject of mathematics because it was evidenced that most of the students participate in the resolution of the exercises (addition, subtraction, multiplication, subtraction, division), in addition to interacting with the teacher. The contents and exercises that were incorporated in the Maths mobile Application are in accordance with the PUD (Teaching Unit Plan) given by the teacher of the institution.
