Abstract

The present research aims to determine the influence of experimentation on the cognitive processes of the area of Natural Sciences in eighth grade students, Basic General Education in the afternoon section of the Educational Unit "Ambato", carried out through the qualitative approach Quantitative, which seeks to analyze how experimentation affects the development of the cognitive process, which was then interpreted statistically. Knowing that experimentation influences the cognitive processes developed by students. It establishes pedagogical recommendations to improve students' performance, through the articulation between cognitive processes and experimentation to facilitate learning in the area of Natural Sciences and to innovate in the changes in Education, which are achieved under the guidance of a mediating teacher, for which it is proposed the creation of a didactic guide of experimental activities in a virtual way, inside or outside the academic day with the use of an interactive methodology that facilitates the understanding of the subject. Therefore, the present thesis considers the creation and implementation of a Virtual, Social and Educational Platform for the dissemination and implementation of experimental practices that benefit the cognitive processes, in an interactive, dynamic and participative way, applicable in the area of Natural Sciences to generate extraordinary capacities in the beneficiary students, diversifying their knowledge as well as providing the necessary tools to improve their understanding and interest.
