Abstract

Abstract: The use of mobile applications in teaching practice is important to achieve significant learning in students, therefore, a study has been proposed to promote the use and implementation of mobile applications in the classroom of children from 5 to 9 years old in order to motivate learning. Considering this, we start from the analysis of variables related to the educational, motivational and use of mobile applications, to collect the information an ad hoc questionnaire was developed, which was validated by experts. In this quantitative research, a longitudinal design of pretest and postest measures was used, in the middle of which an intervention was developed. We worked witha population of 55 students and 6 teachers. During the intervention, teachers created digital resources in the Wordwall mobile application according to the class planning in Mathematics and Language and Literature for 7 days, which were sharingwith students through WhatsApp groups. The conclusions of the study show that in order to successfully use a mobile application, the teacher must implement appropriate teaching strategies that allow him to generate motivation and learning in students, i.e., mobile applications are learning resources.
