Abstract

This research project analyzes the use of Book Creator as a teaching resource to improve the teaching of Natural Sciences to middle school students at the Fe y Alegría Yayulihui Alto Quero Educational Unit. The study arose from the need to integrate innovative digital tools that strengthen motivation, participation, and meaningful learning in this subject area. It was developed using quantitative and qualitative methods approach; at an exploratory and applicative level, and a quasi-experimental design. Fifth and sixth grade students comprised the experimental group, while seventh grade served as the control group. Data was collected through surveys administered to 51 students, interviews with 3 teachers, and pre-test and post-test assessments on the topic of "Invertebrate animals." The results show a limited understanding and application of Book Creator in the classroom. However, after the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant increase in academic performance and motivation to learn, as well as a high level of interest in continuing to use digital resources. It is concluded that Book Creator is an effective educational tool for enhancing learning in Natural Sciences, as it facilitates comprehension, stimulates creativity, and promotes meaningful learning through its dynamic and interactive nature.
