Edmodo como herramienta para la enseñanza aprendizaje de las Ciencias Naturales en quinto grado, Escuela Profesor Rómulo Vidal Zea, cantón Machala; 2021-2022.

Abstract

The learning scenarios have changed constantly and time has passed, for this reason the teacher update must be given in all areas relevant to education itself that should be predestined to improve student training both personal and cognitive. ICT have potentiated virtual scenarios of relevant and striking couplings, for this reason, the teacher must have an accurate domain where he/she ensures in a timely manner the performance of skills and holistic skills based on constructivism leaving relevance and thus ensure that the learner achieves competencies and can develop without shortcomings in the academic context for the rest of his/her student life. Likewise, as time has gone by, education has had several important aspects in relation to the moment of transmitting knowledge, which have been a behavioral, traditional, memoristic education, where the student is not part of the classroom as a generator of ideas but as a receiver of them without involving the development of critical and motivational skills. It is important to emphasize that the methodologies used by the teacher affect the student's performance, which causes cognitive gaps that affect their academic performance. Therefore, Edmodo was taken into consideration as a tool for teaching and learning of natural sciences in fifth grade, school Profesor Rómulo Vidal Zea, Machala canton, 2021-2022 with the purpose of determining the residual capacities of the teacher in the domain and management of ICT to contribute with significant contributions to the A.E. process and assume methods of relevance for the adoption of optimal learning, this theme was obtained through actual observation and the subtraction of evidence to record in consideration and acceptance of the following study. Thus, a research inclined to deductive and inductive approaches was carried out, since it was recorded from the general to the particular and vice versa, this with foundations to obtain viable results for the adequacy of a significant reform. Quantitative-qualitative methodologies were also applied, since relevant instruments were used to record the reality and execute options to support our subject of study, within these instruments questionnaires, observation guide and the test were applied, which were supported by the response of 60 students and 2 teachers located in the area of Natural Sciences, with these premises it was possible to analyze the consistency in terms of the use of technologies and educational platforms within the classroom context of this subject. Tables and tabulations were also elaborated, which were relevant to the decision making process for the application of the study problem and served to give meaning to the quantitative approach of the research. After this, the proposal was written taking into account the generalities of the research and the components involved during the writing and elaboration of the content, which was the realization of training through a seminar-workshop to involve the teachers of the educational institution actively in the educational processes, and thus the student is involved and included in the academic processes. It is worth mentioning that the use of the Edmodo platform in the learning process is of fundamental help as an innovation resource for a change in the teaching practice and that it serves as an intermediary in the cognitive advancement and improvement of the student's pedagogical processes.
