Khan Academy como estrategia de enseñanza, aprendizaje y nivelación de conocimientos matemáticos en la zona rural.

Abstract

Abstract: Achieving meaningful learning in rural environments is a challenge for teachers and students, which has become more evident due to the current health and economic crisis. The principal aim of this work is to achieve authentic learning of mathematics in students in rural environments through the proposed application and use of the Khan Academy platform as a strategy for strengthening and leveling knowledge. The methodology consisted of using and applying the platform to a sample of 35 students of the upper primary and high school levels of the Miguel Angel Corral Educational Unit of Portovelo, Ecuador. To evaluate the knowledge acquired before and after the platform's interaction was designed two tests plus a third questionnaire to allow the students' perceptions concerning the use of the platform. The statistical results (p value= 0.001) proved the effectiveness of using the platform as a complement to leveling and acquisition of significant learning in mathematics.
