Diseño de un AVA de números racionales en la IE comuneros de Chiquinquirá

Abstract

This research deals with the design of a virtual learning environment for rational numbers and their operations in the seventh grade of the educational institution Los Comuneros, in Chiquinquirá, Boyacá, through using educational software. This initiative rises after some difficulty was found with the students around the development of mathematics competencies, exposed by the teacher. Through interviews and surveys, the data was collected and triangulated of the current level of students, after the regular teacher’s activities, through quantitative measurements, using a test on the subject. Documentary review is made of both the educational institution diagnosing the population and the sample to work as well as the background of the mathematical calendars and observing and demonstrating their possible advantages. From the data collected in interviews, surveys and observation, desirable characteristics of a virtual learning environment are extracted in order to supply the specific context needs. Initially a pedagogical design is made and then a technical design in which author's tool are chosen to work evaluating advantages and disadvantages of their use, and from this information the AVA is designed. During the investigation, tests was applied before and after implementation in order to recognize the impact it had the design of that virtual learning environment within the students of the Los Comuneros de Chiquinquirá educational institution.
