Creación de un rea para la retroalimentación de la asignatura ciencias naturales de los estudiantes de 5to grado

Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are currently used in teaching-learning processes, mainly due to their interconnection characteristics. ICTs maintain a trend of constant evolution, which encourages not to maintain a perennial didactic methodology. The present research work was carried out in the EDUCATIONAL UNIT "PAUL PERCI HARRIS", located in the city of Machala, with the participation of the teacher Lcda. Gabriela Luzón from the 5th grade Natural Sciences subject. The research focuses on the development of an Open Educational Resource (OER) aimed at improving the feedback of 5th grade students in the subject of Natural Sciences in the Educational Unit ''Paul Perci Harris''. The main objective is to develop an open educational resource through the eXeLearning platform for interactive feedback from 5th Grade students of the "Paul Perci Harris" educational unit in the subject of Natural Sciences. The purpose of the designed OER is the analysis of the requirements for OER development, the selection of contents and activities for development, the elaboration of the OER in the free access eXeLearning platform and finally the implementation of the OER in the subject of Natural Sciences. making use of the institution's computer lab. The research combines qualitative and qualitative methods to address a problem from different perspectives and obtain a better understanding of the study phenomenon, it is descriptive because information was collected jointly and independently from the research units, observation techniques were applied, interview and survey to a population of 21 students of Fifth Year of EGB and the teacher of the Educational Unit "Paúl Perci Harris". eXeLearning was selected as the platform for the creation of the OER because it is free to access, with the capacity to integrate questionnaires, activities and multimedia resources, encourages the active participation of students and facilitates distribution in standard formats. Ideal for teachers who want to create interactive educational materials without requiring advanced technical knowledge. The result of the research presented favorable data in the feedback, improving the understanding of the concepts and promoting autonomous learning, allowing students to evaluate their progress and areas for improvement. This project also highlights the importance of accessibility and adaptability, ensuring that the OER can be used in both traditional school settings and distance learning modalities. The implementation of this OER has demonstrated its ability to actively engage students, allowing them to assess their progress and understanding through interactive activities and quizzes. The accessibility of the OER, along with its focus on self-assessment, has fostered autonomous learning and self-reflection among students. Finally, the use of free programs such as ExeLearning for the creation of OER stands out as a strategic choice for educators committed to improving the educational experience. The benefits of accessibility, personalization and active participation make this program a powerful option to promote inclusive, effective and collaborative education.
