Desarrollo de un software para el aprendizaje de Sistemas de Ecuaciones Lineales mediante modelamiento para estudiantes de Décimo del periodo 2023-2024 en la Unidad Educativa “Carlos María de la Condamine”

Abstract

The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of the educational software “Mi Aula Digital” on the learning of 2x2 linear equations systems in tenth grade students at the “Carlos María de la Condamine” Educational Institution. The research was developed with a correlational and explanatory approach, based on field research. We worked with an experimental group of 48 students who used the software and a control group of 38 students. Data were collected through surveys, observation and objective evaluations, validated by experts. The software provided theoretical explanations, guided mathematical problems and a tool for solving 2x2 equations. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to analyze the normality of the data, showing that the control group had a normal distribution, while the experimental group did not, so the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was applied for statistical analysis. The results showed that the experimental group, with a mean of 7.76, performed better than the control group, whose mean was 5.49. The mode of the experimental group was 8.00 and that of the control group 5.33, indicating better common grades in the experimental group. In addition, the experimental group had a lower standard deviation (1.28) and variance (1.64), evidencing greater consistency in their ratings compared to the control group (2.10 and 4.41). In conclusion, the implementation of “Mi Aula Digital” significantly improved student performance. Its adoption in other educational contexts is recommended to foster autonomous and critical learning, improving academic performance.
