NEOBOOK: Hypermedial Language Integrating Knowledge in Computer Education

Abstract

The objective of this research project was to analyze the use of Neobook to improve the academic performance in the teaching-learning process of Computer Science. In order to determine this, the survey technique was used specifically with its instrument, the questionnaire, applied to 84 students and 2 teachers of the Ing. Federico Páez School located in Cantón Otavalo, Parroquia El Jordán, of the City of Otavalo – Ecuador. A quantitative research was carried out, within a documentary, descriptive and field-work focus making it possible to demonstrate that when using this educational software, 82% of the students would improve their knowledge. Also, 100% of the teachers answered that their students would improve their academic performance. This is why an E-book was elaborated that handles a hypermedial language integrator of computer knowledge in order to strengthen their learning and develop their skills. The results address educational technology allowing cognitive construction and permitting new ways of learning digitally. Teachers using an E-book obtain an excellent sustainable teaching material for their classes, invigorating learning potentials in an interactive, constructive and collaborative way. It is also a contribution since it is a sustainable environment-friendly material.
