Utilización de un software como metodología alternativa para el aprendizaje del Bloque Curricular Geometría y Medida en el noveno año de educación básica de la Unidad Educativa “Isabel de Godín” durante el año lectivo 2013-2014.

Abstract

Education faces a great challenge that consists in forming entrepreneurs, autonomous, critical and reasoning people not only reproducers of knowledge learned in the classroom; therefore it is necessary to develop meaningful learning by using tools that strengthen and collaborate with the learning process through entertaining, motivating and dynamics forms without pressure on the student achieving empathy with the teacher taking into account the tools that are used to share knowledge with the students. Consequently, it established as an alternative guideline to solve this problem the development of software as methodology for learning contents of geometry and measurement in the ninth year of basic education of the "Isabel de Godín" Educational Unit during the school year 2013-2014. The methodologies applied in this research are: the scientific, dialectical method among others which allowed establishing the benefits of working with a computer tool. On the other hand, it applied the Chi square test to the statistic R for the respective verification of the hypothesis with two groups such as: control and experimental. The difficulties that the students presented in learning geometry and measurement were determined, due to there was no a spontaneous and interested participation of the actors. However with the use of technology, the students participated actively and were interested in interacting with the program being possible to build the knowledge of software related to geometry and measurement. The software called "Geomedida" is made up of reflections, a magazine, a tutorial, recreational activities, in addition a geometry and measurement curricular contents evaluation. Within the different conclusions, it can be rescued that the educational software "Geomedida" contributed to strengthen the process of teaching-learning and recommends teachers to use the software because it is a tool that contributes to meaningful learning.
