Desarrollo de una app en sistemas de riego por goteo como innovación tecnológica en el aprendizaje de la mecánica de fluidos en los estudiantes de la media en la institución educativa técnica agropecuaria de puerto giraldo.

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to develop an app for drip irrigation systems using Visual Studio Code, aimed at enhancing fluid mechanics learning among high school students at Intitución Educativa Técnico Agropecuaria de Puerto Giraldo. A quantitative research methodology was applied, as it provides methods to measure and analyze learning outcomes, allows for generalization of results, and facilitates the evaluation of the app’s effectiveness in students' learning. Information was collected through surveys, questionnaires (pre-test and post-test), and observations. A cross-sectional design was chosen for the study, given its suitability for quantitative research. A comparative analysis of pre-test and post-test results revealed significant improvements in most competencies, with up to 41.92% enhancements in analytical skills and 23.02% in identification skills within complex contexts. These findings underscore the app’s positive impact on strengthening students' practical and theoretical skills in fluid mechanics, particularly in areas such as friction, flow, and pressure in irrigation systems. Although, overall progress was observed, topics like pressure comprehension and analysis in more complex scenarios could benefit from additional modules to further reinforce learning.
