Aplicación móvil como apoyo en el pea de ciencias naturales en 8vo año de EGB del Colegio de Bachillerato Ismael Pérez Pazmiño

Abstract

This research project establishes the degree of influence of the use of mobile applications as a didactic resource for the improvement of the teaching-learning process in the subject of Natural Sciences. For the design of the prototype of the Mobile App we rely on the ADDIE methodology that involves five fundamental phases for the development of instructional design prototypes, in the technical constitution of the prototype the Android Studio integrated development environment was obtained, with a Java programming language. Likewise, this process was deployed in the "Ismael Pérez Pazmiño" High School, and the population was made up of the tutor teacher and the Eighth Year students of Basic General Education. In the execution of the research project, evaluation instruments were carried out, such as the pretest and posttest designs that allowed measuring or analyzing the existing problems in the classroom context and, in turn, obtaining the results after the experimentation, so that the research method was improved. mixed, which involves both quantitative and qualitative methods, such as surveys and interviews that allow data to be collected. The analysis of the data obtained through the evaluation instrument, the same as the survey was applied, in the two experimentation processes on the use of the Mobile App, using the statistical software IBM SPSS because it offers an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. use. That is why the data obtained in the survey applied to the students, gave as a result that the use of Mobile Applications in the subject of Natural Sciences helps in the improvement of the teaching processes, showing in turn motivation and interest in acquiring knowledge. to strengthen active interaction in the educational context. Finally, the development of mobile applications as support to improve the teaching process contributes significantly to the acquisition of knowledge by students, which are presented in the results obtained in the evaluation instruments applied to students and teachers of the educational institution.
