Software educativo en línea para el aprendizaje de la asignatura diseño y programación web

Abstract

This research project emphasizes the effective use of online software and its impact on strengthening the knowledge acquisition process. What determines the importance of the insertion of ICT components within the current classrooms for the improvement of the same, this provides students with more elements of interaction with their teachers and facilitates the empowerment of digital skills. The current thesis research is based on the design, planning and construction of an online educational software MiCla, with the need to function as an actor in strengthening the knowledge of the subject of Web Design and Programming, the third year belonging to the high school level, specifically the parallel "A" of the school "Jambelí" canton Santa Rosa, province of El Oro, school period 2023-2024, thus strengthening the construction of knowledge through an online educational software, with the advantages that this provides both the teacher from the development of classes through the different categories designed and programmed, in addition to the structuring of the contents, the contents were provided by the teacher of the subject based on the guidelines of the third year of the technical baccalaureate, the sample consists of all the students of the third year of baccalaureate. To achieve the goal of the research, specific objectives were set, among which are defined, to analyze the educational needs of students belonging to the high school level, specifically the parallel "A" with impact on learning the subject Web Design and Programming, implement MiCla as a support resource and evaluate the purpose of the online educational software through the use of observatión guide and surveys. In the development of this research, an approach that incorporates both qualitative and quantitative elements has been adopted with the purpose of obtaining reliable data through surveys to teachers and observation guide and surveys students. This choice is based on the need to obtain a complete and solid vision of the results derived from the study in order to subsequently analyze and interpret the results obtained. To further enrich the research, methodologies that allow flexibility have been selected, which means that adjustments and corrections can be made at any stage of the process. Furthermore, the intention is to effectively merge technology with a pedagogical perspective in the development of the prototype known as MiCla. In order to obtain data, two instances of interaction were carried out, the initial one consisted of a meeting with the teacher in charge of the subject, during which the online educational software was introduced, after which points for improvement were obtained in terms of distribution and future improvements in the interface for the prototype. But positive data were collected on MiCla, thus demonstrating its effectiveness in strengthening knowledge. The second interaction was carried out with the students, obtaining similar results to the first interaction with the teacher, where student participation and motivation were achieved.
