diseño de una aplicación móvil para el aprendizaje de matemática en 9° año egb en la unidad educativa mi sendero

Abstract

The environment in which this research takes place took place in the private educational unit school “Mi Sendero” which is located in the city of Machala which belongs to the province of El Oro in which we were well received by the teacher in charge of imparting his knowledge in the subject of mathematics in the same way by the students belonging to the ninth EGB “a”. For several years, traditional education has had great relevance within the educational field, but it has had a negative impact within the educational community because it generates intellectually passive students, lacking creativity and initiative, this is because it is authoritarian. and limiting in the ethical aspect, based on memorization, exclusivist in the social sphere, and tolerant in the civil sphere. That is why the digital educational system is characterized by being based on homogeneity and strictness, which is why with the arrival of digital this has been revolutionizing classrooms and learning methods, this digital transformation seeks to promote practical and creative education, By including these new methods in the educational system, it is questioned whether traditional education develops the skills of students in their entirety since this methodology is based on memorization rather than on reflective or critical capacity. converting the role of the teacher into preparing students for the future, helping them discover the talents they possess and be able to make decisions and solve problems. Therefore, with the integration of ICT, it is easier to obtain knowledge and increase communication skills, making learning more productive and interactive, so with this in mind, a mobile app was developed which will be known by its name “Math.” in Mind” with the intention of providing support for teaching-learning within the mathematics class of 9th year students of the “Mi Sendero” Private Educational Unit of the city of Machala, to achieve this objective, a plan was developed which was oriented towards carrying out a Pretest and Posttest. In this way, it was possible to identify and contrast the benefits that were obtained by implementing our prototype, which consists of the insertion of interactive resources that allow the teacher to teach his class as well as carry out activities. on behalf of the students, also allow the integration of slides, videos, images, activities which were carried out through CANVA, Educaplay, Word Wall and LiveWorksheets, all of this is presented within “Math in Mind”, this mobile app actsin response to the need to improve teaching-learning in the mathematics class in 9th grade of the Private Educational Unit “Mi Sendero". The research method is based on a mixed approach which includes both a quantitative approach, which examines the collection of documents or mathematical data, and a qualitative approach, which seeks to interpret the experiences when applying. In the first, an experimental modality is presented at the time of implementing the prototype. within the classroom as well as non-experimental correlational where it allows us to compare the relationship between two or more variables while on the side of the qualitative approach, we present the descriptive modality that allows us to identify the experiences of the teaching staff when interacting with “Math in Mind” being this applied to 24 students and one teacher.
