Uso de plataforma educativa Khan Academy para el mejoramiento del aprendizaje de ecuaciones de primer grado en estudiantes de Octavo Año de Educación Básica

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this research work was to analyze the impact of the Khan Academy platform on the learning of first degree equations in the students of the eighth year of Basic Education of the Daniel Comboni Educational Unit in the 2022-2023 academic period. It was developed under a positivist paradigm, quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental design, working with a sample of 72 students divided into control and experimental groups. Each group participated in a diagnostic test and a master class, with the difference that the experimental group was added the use of the Khan Academy platform and finally each group performed its final test. The main results determined that both groups presented deficiencies at the beginning of the research, but that the use of the platform in the experimental group, made the students obtain better results in their final test compared to the control group. This demonstrates that the use of the Khan Academy platform benefits the students in their learning process since they learn in a more dynamic and autonomous way.
