Diseño de una metodología basada en modelos matemáticos para mejorar la enseñanza de la cátedra de física en la Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE

Abstract

Each methodological strategy used in education should be applied systematically, regardless the purpose and objective. The methodological design based on mathematical methods to improve the teaching process of Physics at ESPE, Armed Forces University, Campus Latacunga aims to present a series of techniques and instruments to be implemented by using mathematical tools in order to improve the student´s academic performance in the above mentioned subject, the research focus was qualitative, quantitative, descriptive, and correlational, determining that the use of ICT, Information and Communication Technology can enhance learning through virtual classrooms. Thus, demonstrating an improvement in the group of students studying electromechanical engineering with respect to the group of students studying petrochemical engineering in 9.2%, the results were verified by using the SPSS statistical software, and validating with the Welch test. It is concluded that through the use of the virtual platform together to a proper planning, structure and evaluation, teaching is improved and also progressive learning is achieved. It is recommended to perform academic monitoring to identify and empower effective techniques and tools which are the most relevant for students.
