Mejoramiento del aprendizaje de la aritmética básica, apoyado en software libre, para el quinto año de educación general básica.

Abstract

This research was carried out to students at Unidad Educativa Intercultural Bilingüe "Oswaldo Guayasamin Calero” from Secao San José Community in Columbe, Colta Chimborazo

related to improvement in learning of basic arithmetic supported by free software to fifth grade of General Basic Education. The aim was to improve basic arithmetic Learning as an elemental proficiency in order to solve problems related to calculus. It was started with: records card; application of the test; bibliographic review; selection and application of free software, recollection and data tabulation; preparation of reports; analysis and interpretation of results, conclusions and recommendations: It was made an observation group work, review of tasks and additional tasks in class, and implementation of surveys. Tux Math games of Math Command were used, improvement learning of basic arithmetic was done in 26, 71%. It was concluded that the value of Z to two samples is ± 1,959; the value of the Z found in the research is -9,9: which is out of the ± 1,959 average. It was rejected the null-hypothesis, thus the alternate hypothesis was accepted. It is recommended to use the Tux Mathematical game of Tux Command for the learning of basic arithmetic with students of fifth grade and with other basic grades to reinforce their learning.
