Mobile learning en la enseñanza aprendizaje de las ciencias naturales en el décimo año de educación general básica

Abstract

The current research project is entitled mobile learning in the teaching and learning of natural sciences in tenth year of general basic education, which was carried out in the Educational Institution "Alberto Cruz Murillo" located in the city of Machala belonging to the province of El Oro, we were hosted by ING. Betzy Beatris Olarte Pambi of the subject of Natural Sciences and the pleasant support of the students of the tenth year of basic parallel "A". In the field of education, this emergency has led to the massive closure of face-to-face activities of educational institutions in more than 190 countries in order to prevent the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact. In the field of education, most of the measures taken by countries in the region in response to the crisis have involved the suspension of face-to-face classes at all levels of education, which has led to three main lines of action: the implementation of distance education modalities, using a variety of formats and platforms (with or without the use of technology); support and mobilization of staff and the educational community; and concern for the health and well-being of students. It should be reiterated that, given this new situation, it is necessary to have teachers trained in the technology era to be able to respond to the various changes and use technology to support the teaching and learning process of students, since students must be involved in the development of new skills and capabilities and become updated professionals in the new digital era. Therefore, the main objective of the study is the use of M-Learning as a support tool for the ASP of the subject of natural sciences in students to help them improve their skills and academic performance. It is worth mentioning that it was carried out with a quantitative and qualitative approach (interview and survey) and worked with the participation of 38 students, 23 boys and 15 girls between 14 and 15 years of age of the tenth year of basic education and the teacher of the subject of Natural Sciences. Moving forward, it is worth mentioning that for the development of this prototype we used the MADAMDM approach, a flexible method for the design of multimedia applications for mobile devices, which allowed us to achieve a correct structure in my prototype. Finally, it is a great pleasure to mention that very favorable and satisfactory results have been obtained through analysis and results, these effective responses and demonstrations have been obtained and congratulations for its successful completion and the creation of the educational mobile application "CCNN".
