El Aula Virtual como Herramienta para aumentar el Grado de Satisfacción en el Aprendizaje de las Matemáticas

Abstract

The present investigation proposes the design and implementation of a virtual classroom for mathematics instruction for third grade students at the Institución Educativa Neira (Colombia). This virtual classroom is used as a tool for strengthening the neurocognitive self-monitoring function. In this way it is expected to increase student satisfaction levels in regards to mathematics. The methodological development included analysis of a Likert scale survey and two preconceived notion tests, which were applied to students. From these, their principal strengths and weaknesses were identified. Implementation of the virtual classroom focused on student identification and correction of their own errors, through observation of solved problems. An analysis of the results obtained from application of the final satisfaction survey concludes that implementation of the virtual classroom increased student satisfaction levels in math study by 36%.
