Classdojo as an Educational Technology to Enhance the Learning of Logical Mathematical Notions

2024 , Núñez-Naranjo, Aracelly Fernanda , Susana Roman-Tirira , Ocaña-Chiluisa, José

The purpose of the research was to design strategies that allow the development of critical thinking for the learning of mathematics in upper elementary school students. The same is of a quasi-experimental type that contemplates a methodology based on a quantitative approach, which allowed after the application of the proposal for four weeks, to analyze and explain the phenomenon under study through the application of objective tests of 10 items in a pretest and a posttest, applied to 156 tenth grade students of an educational unit in Ecuador, for the experiment were divided into two groups: 78 students in the control group and 78 students in the experimental group, which was subjected to an innovative proposal and traditional education. The post evaluation results of the scores obtained from the control group showed an overall average of 4.65 showing the lack of skills and cognitive tools to develop critical thinking. While, the experimental group reached an average of 7.63 after the implementation of the proposal, observing a significant improvement in their skills and qualities in the development of critical thinking, evolving positively with the criteria applied within the didactic guide. Finally, to test the hypothesis, the Anova statistical test was used, which concluded a direct relationship between the development of critical thinking and the learning of mathematics.

Critical thinking and AI: Enhancing history teaching through ChatGPT simulations

2025 , Santamaría Velasco, Juan Pablo , Núñez-Naranjo, Aracelly Fernanda , Ximena Morales-Urrutia

This work investigates the incorporation of ChatGPT into history education to enhance critical thinking and promote student engagement. A qualitative research design was utilized in this study. The interactions of 40 students with ChatGPT, which mimicked conversations with Simón Bolívar, were examined. Thematic content analysis was used to assess these interactions. The results demonstrate significant progress in students' critical thinking skills, understanding of history, and overall participation. Students exhibited enhanced analytical capabilities and a deeper comprehension of historical events, particularly related to the concept of sustainable development. The results indicate that ChatGPT serves as a valuable resource for enhancing history education. Through the promotion of critical thinking and involvement, it contributes to the development of creative and inclusive educational settings. This research offers a detailed examination of the educational potential inherent in artificial intelligence, highlighting its capacity to revolutionize conventional history teaching methods and equip learners with the skills necessary to confront global challenges.
