Desarrollo del pensamiento espacial con tecnologías de información geográfica en educación primaria, en un entorno adaptativo y colaborativo desde los sistemas complejos.

Abstract

The present research had as a general objective Analyze the development of spatial thinking with geographic information technologies in primary education in an adaptive and collaborative environment from complex systems, for which it was essential to identify the actions developed by teachers when promoting the spatiality to strengthen teaching contextualized in students, and finally, achieve contribute to the development of education from didactic elements that contemplate the new technological trends that promote spatial thinking, from the implementation of geographic information systems (GIS). The methodology used has the peculiarity of being mixed, since it includes the quantitative and qualitative approach to address the object of study, in this way, it was based on a descriptive study, based on a quantitative and field paradigm, where a series of instruments with propositions that led to the selection of a response, and was directed to a population of 39 students of the fifth grade and 46 teachers who work in the Mega Colegio Bicentenario de Cúcuta. The sample was constituted by the totality of the population therefore it will be non probabilistic, and at the same time it will be probabilistic due to the implication of it. The results were represented under the descriptive statistics through the elaboration of graphs with their respective analyzes. In the same way, the data analysis was carried out in a qualitative manner where the elements that constitute the academic reality were taken proportionally when promoting the teaching of spatiality as a starting point for the contextualization of the social sciences from its teaching.
