Software educativo como estrategia didáctica en el proceso de enseñanza- aprendizaje en estudiantes del primer año de bachillerato en ciencias

Abstract

The objective of this research project is to create a software that adapts to the needs of teachers to apply the best didactics with methodological strategies in line with the present day, such as TONGUE, a suitable resource for teaching and learning new subjects for all students. And on the other hand, those who have gone through a long process of virtuality and have not yet adapted to the idea of having to study and learn in front of a computer, have an impressive option to start with and understand that in this 21st century, going hand in hand with technology is something that will benefit them in their professional life. Therefore, the creation of the educational software TONGUE aims to motivate the learning of first year high school science students and help as a didactic strategy to the activities of the teacher Tania Valarezo and teachers who show interest in the application, at “Ismael Perez Pazmino” High School. To achieve this goal, we used several techniques and methods, among them the ADDIE model, which could also be called methodology, since the ADDIE methodology allows us to present the use of this type of software in a virtual and face-to-face manner. This is very advantageous for us, since the experiments that will be shown in the course of the project were performed virtually. This is very useful for us because the experiments that will be shown in the course of this project were conducted virtually. To determine the results of this research, two experiments were conducted with the prototype; first, the prototype was presented to the teacher in charge of the language and literature course through the zoom platform, where the software was visualized and each of its main functions and features were known as a form of reference that has the content and activities within the program, after which the teacher recommended some changes to considerr, in the second experience, with the suggestions and changes corrected, it was based on presenting the prototype to the students in order to make use of the educational software where they can manipulate and interact with us and to evaluate the results obtained as a didactic resource within the teaching and learning process. For the evaluation, a survey of teachers and students was conducted, and it was

determined that the TONGUE educational software was well received by students and had an innovative impact by allowing more didactic units that increased student motivation and participation. Classrooms should always be innovative, moving away from the traditional models found in educational institutions, so that students can develop new skills and competencies as content creators, researchers and ability to use and create different programs that help them in their independent education.
