Mobile learning and the learning of mathematics: the case of the MATI-TEC project in Peru
Keywords:
mobile learning, math skills, learning, motivation, self-efficacyAbstract
Actually, Mobile learning it’s a possibility to generate the challenges of education. Therefore, based on this research presents the results of the implementation and assessment of the Mati-Tec’ app to reinforce math skills to 311 students in fourth to sixth grade of four marginal urban public schools of Peru. The results showed an improvement in learning mathematics in students of 4th grade and high motivation and self-efficacy in students who used this software. In addition, teachers felt that the application helped them in their teaching strategies for mathematics serving as a source of motivation for students.Downloads
