El uso de Genially y el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de la asignatura de Ciencias Naturales de octavo año de Educación General Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to analyze the relationship between the use of the digital tool Genially and academic performance in the subject of Natural Sciences among eighth-grade students of General Basic Education at the Teniente Hugo Ortiz Garcés Basic Education School. The working hypothesis is based on the assumption that the integration of interactive technological resources such as Genially enhances classroom dynamics during the teaching learning process, increases student motivation, and strengthens understanding of the content taught. The study adopted a quantitative approach, using a quasi-experimental design in which learning outcomes were assessed before and after the intervention through the use of resources developed with Genially. The results show a high percentage of improvement in students grades after the implementation, demonstrating a positive relationship between the use of this tool and the enhancement of academic performance. Finally, it is concluded that Genially functions as an effective pedagogical resource for promoting learning in the subject of Natural Sciences and is highly recommended for planned integration within the classroom.
