Moodle Interactive Model to Strengthen Mathematical Competencies in Eighth-Year Basic Education Students

Abstract

This study aims to design a virtual learning platform for the Francisco Pizarro Educational Unit, based on a Moodle pedagogical model that offers a variety of flexible tools and functions that make it easier for students to build their own knowledge, the methodology is a research with a focus quantitative based on empiricism, experience, observation and analysis of facts, the research design is quasi-experimental, the survey and questions were used for the pair of variables, 74 students participated. It is concluded that the Shapiro-Wilk test (n < 50); points out that in the pretest, both the control group and the experimental group obtain a sig. = 0.000. Consequently, in all cases, the groups obtained a sig. < 0.05, in this way the H0 is rejected and the HI is accepted: which means that the data analyzed does not follow a normal distribution. Therefore, the Mann Whitney U statistic was used for independent samples and the Wilcoxon statistic for related samples respectively, and finally it is proposed to design a virtual classroom as a crucial interactive teaching strategy to provoke the contribution and commitment of the learners.
