Application Of The Project-Based Methodology For The Design Of Virtual Environments To Improve The Teaching-Learning Process Authors: Murillo Morales Wilson Steeven; Pando Ochoa Jeison Joel Tutor: Ing. Matias Olabe Johanna Carolina, Ms When society changes, education must change with it, adapting to the new circumstances. The main objective of this degree work is to apply a Virtual Learning Environment in the subject of Social Studies as a technological resource to improve the teaching-learning process of the students of tenth parallel "B" of the High School "Juan Montalvo". In this way it has been proposed to strengthen the current way of teaching, using technology as an innovative strategy, seeking to achieve an optimal quality of education. When we talk about an EVA we refer to the educational space hosted on the website. It is a set of tools to facilitate learning that constitutes a space where students and teachers can interact remotely and perform all tasks related to teaching without physical interaction. It can be completely virtual training (e-learning) or support face-to-face training (blended learning). Taking into account this innovative pedagogical vision, a Virtual Learning Environment called "EDUCATION S.J." was designed in the NEO LMS platform, which has complementary technological tools that seek to awaken the student's interest in the class, encourage student participation and strengthen motivation through gamification, basing this educational process on the Project Based Methodology. The operation and effectiveness of the EVA was reflected in the results obtained in the realization of the two experiences developed together with the main actors involved in the teaching process, we refer to the teacher and students. In the first instance, in an approach with the expert in technology and expert in the subject, it was possible to know the impressions of the prototype, where from an interview, the experts manifested their conformity with the design and contents of "EDUCATION S.J.", for which the observations made were minimal. As for the development of the second experience, it was carried out with the students belonging to the indicated course, which consisted of planning an experimental class, performing first a pre-test through a survey, after which the EVA was applied. In this intervention, the students were significantly interested and motivated to learn the contents of the subject, participate and carry out the activities with the help of the complementary tools that constitute "EDUCATION S.J.", obtaining a successful development of the teaching-learning process. Therefore, the results of this final approach were significantly positive, because the students were able to learn and interact with the prototype without any complications. Subsequently, the post-test was applied where the students expressed their satisfaction with the use and application of the EVA within their educational process. Finally, based on the perceptions obtained from the EVA, it is important to highlight "EDUCATION S,J" as a significant tool within the development of the teaching-learning process of Social Studies, increasing the levels of interest, understanding, participation and motivation factors that allow the student to feel comfortable in the process of learning and construction of their knowledge.
