System of digital didactic resources for the resolution of mathematical problems in General Basic Education.

Authors

Abstract

The integration of digital technologies in education has had a high impact on teaching and learning in which the use of concrete material for pedagogical purposes allows the construction of new knowledge about knowledge. A research with a mixed approach, explanatory level and pre-experimental design was carried out with the objective of developing a system of digital didactic resources to improve the academic performance in mathematical problem solving of students in the sixth year of General Basic Education of the Escuela Fiscomisional “San José Obrero”, province of Esmeraldas, Ecuador in the school year 2024-2025. The initial diagnosis of academic performance in mathematical problem solving showed that students presented greater difficulties in the formulation and strategic resolution of problems, as well as in the contextualized application of mathematical techniques, evidencing limitations in critical and metacognitive thinking skills. In order to contribute to solve the scientific problem identified, a system of digital didactic resources was designed to improve academic performance in mathematical problem solving. Five specific resources were designed, each one structured in several components. Comparison of pre-test and post-test results demonstrates the effectiveness of the system, and statistical calculations support the positive trend observed. This suggests that intervention with digital tools such as Khan Academy, GeoGebra and Photomath holds promise for the development of mathematical competencies in sixth grade students.
