Abstract

Technology played a crucial role in modern education, providing tools that improved learning and addressed problems related to students' academic performance. In this context, a mobile application called "BioEduc" was designed and developed to support second-year high school biology students. The identified problem was the lack of accessible technological resources and the reliance on traditional teaching methods, which limited the acquisition of meaningful knowledge. The research focused on how a mobile application could improve academic performance. The general objective of the research was to improve the academic performance of biology students through the use of "BioEduc". The specific objectives included identifying factors of low performance, designing an interactive mobile application, implementing customization features, and evaluating its effectiveness through pre and post-use tests. The methodology used was mixed, combining quantitative and qualitative methods to obtain a holistic view of the application's impact. This approach allowed the collection and analysis of numerical and textual data. The most significant results showed good acceptance of the prototype by the teacher, highlighting the intuitive interface and interactive tools that increased student motivation. Improvements such as the implementation of forums and additional gamification were recommended. In conclusion, the "BioEduc" mobile application proved to be an effective learning tool, providing engaging and participatory resources. It was concluded that the continuous improvement of the application is essential to maximize its educational impact.
