Enseñar matemáticas usando objetos virtuales de aprendizaje en la Universidad Católica de Pereira

Abstract

This article presents the results of a research carried out in order to motivate students in the learning process of mathematics through the use of Virtual Learning Objects (OVA) and having as a significant departure teaching practices based in context, since it is one of the areas having higher academic mortality in educational institutions in our country. The aim is to transform some teaching practices in this area and develop a Virtual Learning Object to be used as a motivating axis among student - teacher - discipline and to provide the student with the acquisition of skills, competences, and abilities inherent to those proposed by the National Ministry of Education. It is very important to consider that the design and construction of the OVA is a fundamental aspect when appropriating a methodology that aims to consolidate mathematical concepts and specific knowledge in the students. An aspect taken into account when designing these “objects” is that the students use this resource as much as possible; that is why they must be developed with specifications of adaptability, accessibility and easy navigation.
