Educaplay en el desarrollo de las habilidades lógico-matemáticas en los estudiantes de quinto grado de Educación General Básica, de la Unidad Educativa “Fray Bartolomé de las Casas”, Parroquia Salasaka

Abstract

The present research refers to the impact of the Educaplay platform in the progress of the logical-mathematical skills of 28 students of fifth grade of EGB of the Educational Unit “Fray Bartolomé de las Casas”, Salasaka Parish. With a pre-experimental pretest-posttest design, mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative), bibliographic field modality. The research levels were exploratory and descriptive. Interactive activities were designed (Froggy jumps, test, video quiz, memory) adjusted to the curriculum of logical reasoning, elementary operations and numerical sequences. The main objective was to design activities in Educaplay that are used to develop logical-mathematical skills in students. The results reveal increases in grades from 3.61 (pretest) to 8.18 (posttest) with a t-value = 39.686; p = 0.000, and 68% of students at high levels of academic achievement (A+ and A-). This change represents significant progress in the accuracy of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations. This contributes to the strengthening of the students' logical-mathematical skills in solving mathematical problems. It was concluded that Educaplay, by offering immediate feedback and adapting to visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles, represents an inclusive and effective pedagogical tactic to enhance logical-mathematical skills in the educational environment.
