Diseño de un objeto virtual de aprendizaje para el fortalecimiento del pensamiento numérico en los estudiantes del grado tercero de la Institución Educativa Colegio San Bartolomé Sede Comuneros en la ciudad de Cúcuta.

Abstract

In this research a virtual learning object is proposed that contributes to the strengthening of numerical thinking, specifically in the topics "combined problems" and "multiplication by one and two figures". The methodology was developed under a descriptive quantitative approach. The population was represented by 105 students from the third grade of the Colegio San Bartolomé Educational Institution at No. 33 Comuneros; an intentional, non- probabilistic sample was used, consisting of 34 students belonging to the group of 3 "B". To collect information, a questionnaire was applied to students as a diagnostic test, consisting of 20 items, organized into 4 sections (sums carrying, subtracting loans, combined problems and multiplication), in order to identify previous knowledge and difficulties present in group 3 "B" in terms of numerical thinking. A checklist was also made with the purpose of verifying the methodology and type of technological tools that the teacher uses to execute these topics. Based on the results obtained, the application of the virtual learning object (OVA) "Playing with the numbers" is confirmed as a viable alternative for the improvement of the academic performance of the students. This OVA was designed in Adobe Flash Cs6, integrating animated images, sounds and interactive activities that facilitate the understanding of the concepts.
