Big Data como herramienta de apoyo en el aprendizaje de problemas matemáticos sobre ecuaciones lineales

Abstract

Abstract: Technology is growing exponentially, and it is crucial for teachers to integrate current tools for meaningful learning of mathematics. This research explores how incorporating information from contexts of interest to students optimizes the understanding of abstract concepts. In addition, using extrinsic motivation with Big Data tools poses an innovative pedagogical strategy. The objective is to use Big Data as a support tool in the learning of mathematical problems on linear equations in the tenth grade of EGB at the Catholic Private Educational Unit Isabel Tobar . The methodology used was mixed, with a sample of 32 students who were given questionnaires before and after the intervention to measure affectivity and a workshop as a pretest and posttest for academic performance in mathematical problems. The data obtained were analyzed by means of a difference of means (Student t), revealing a significant difference with a p-value less than 0.05. This indicates that the application of interesting and relevant information for the student in mathematical problems based on the video game League of Legends has a positive impact on learning.
