Design of a Digital Educational Resource to Strengthen Natural Science Competencies

Diseño De Un Recurso Educativo Digital Para El Fortalecimiento De Las Competencias De Ciencias Naturales

A study was carried out whose purpose was to demonstrate that through a RED it is possible to strengthen the interpretation competence in the natural sciences. In the application of the resource design, 15 students from the sixth grade of the I. E. El Salvador, from the municipality of Pueblorrico, Antioquia, participated, who were the sample for the application of the research instruments. These instruments are listed in: the diagnostic test questionnaire, a format for observation during the RED pilot test and the interview at the end for the RED assessment, once the exploration within the resource is complete. The results of the diagnosis made show that the students have various conceptual gaps in their pre-knowledge; Likewise, during the observation it was evidenced that the OVA met the expectations in terms of functionality and innovation and in the final survey it was possible to conclude that the resource provided motivation and more dynamic, interesting and fun learning. Therefore, it is concluded that, through the use of a RED, interpretative competence can be potentiated, provoking the necessary interest in the student so that they take ownership of the construction of their own learning.
