Aplicación m-learning como recurso didáctico en la asignatura de matemáticas en los estudiantes de cuarto año de educación general básica de la Escuela Manuel Utreras Gómez

Abstract

The main objective of the work presented is to apply a tool in the subject of Mathematics as a didactic resource to strengthen it in fourth grade students of the School of Basic Education ¨Manuel Utreras Gómez of the city of Santa Rosa¨. With the realization of this work we have proposed to share new ways of teaching, respectively using technology, the same that promotes a new vision, with new methodologies based on mobile learning (M-learning). Mobile learning (M-learning) allows students to learn using their cell phone, tablet, or any device that gives them the ability to study without the need to be in a classroom or in a fixed place and achieving that the teacher gets a new resource that generates many learning situations, such as interaction, more dynamic and less traditionalist classes. In addition, this type of process allows students to be immersed in this digital era that is increasingly stronger and with changes that are beneficial for everyone. Taking into account a methodological vision, this whole process is based on the creation of an application called ¨MatemApp¨ that has contents such as multiplication, division and capacity units posed by the host institution. To obtain the respective results, two experiences were carried out, in the first experience we presented the application to the director of the institution in person, where each of the characteristics that encompass the application in this case, the interface, design, colors and all aspects that must be taken into account for the development of an application aimed at children were shown. In the second experience, the presentation of the application was already made to the teacher in charge of the classroom and to the children of the fourth parallel grade ̈A ̈, explaining each of the particularities that MatemApp has. After the presentation of the application, a survey was conducted to find out if the tool presented was liked by the students, where the results were successful, generating acceptance and a great impact upon learning about the MatemApp. Having the comments of most people, we know that the subject of Mathematics is considered one of the most complex to learn because of its terms of quantification and other aspects that go beyond logic, it is suggested as a teaching method mobile learning (M-learning) and in this case integrating MatemApp as a study strategy, where students can provide feedback on the content seen in class. In this way, innovation is promoted in the classroom, which is what is sought today, giving a 360° degree turn to the way of teaching and learning, allowing students to feel more motivated and more active, creating new environments that meet the needs of all students where they have fun learning and evaluating their knowledge through games found in MatemApp.
