App educativa para fortalecer el conocimiento de las operaciones básicas en la asignatura de matemáticas en los estudiantes de 5to de la Unidad Educativa Once de Noviembre

Abstract

In education, the implementation of digital or technological resources that allow effective interaction in the classroom has become important, this occurs because currently teachers and students cannot communicate in an enjoyable way, thus preventing the learning process from being significant and effective, leading teachers to use traditional strategies and students are led only to be listeners of information and not think over to current social problems. Due to this it is considered of utmost importance that teachers innovate their teaching processes, especially in mathematics, which is one of the fundamental areas in basic and secondary education, training students from an early age allows them to be creative and manage to solve social problems to which they are submitted daily. For this reason, it has been considered efficient to present the following research problem: How to strengthen basic mathematical skills through the development of an app in 5th course students of Basic General Education in the math subject at the Educational Unit “ONCE DE NOVIEMBRE” of Arenillas Canton? Analyzing the current problem in the mathematics learning area, it is essential to propose an objective due to following was proposed to develop an educational app to strengthen the knowledge of basic operations in math subject on students of 5th course in the Educational Unit “ONCE DE NOVIEMBRE” in Arenillas city. Taking the objective as a reference, it can be demonstrated how the teaching-learning processes can promote effective learning through the use of mobile applications due to the demand that this shows in current education, in which all teachers and students know and implement these apps in their daily use.

The methodology that was implemented for this research is focused at qualitative and quantitative approaches because with them solid information is obtained not only based on statistics but also on the analysis of the data that allow obtaining relevant information to solve the problems of reinforcement of learning in mathematics. Within the obtained data through the survey of teachers and students, it was found that 95.5% of students want to use the mobile application to reinforce their learning in mathematics and as the following topic it was evidenced that 100% of the students are motivated by the design of the mobile application, leaving as a result and evidence that the application is well aimed at reinforcing the learning of basic operations in students of 5th course of basic education. In conclusion, it can be determined that the use of the mobile application aimed at reinforcing the learning of basic operations in 5th course students of basic education obtained a high index of acceptability by teachers and students of the educational institution, demonstrating that when using mobile apps allow motivating and reinforcing the learning of basic operations.
