Google Sites: An Effective and Accessible Solution to Improve the Teaching of Mathematics in Virtual Environments

Education aims to generate learning in students, however, there is a discrepancy between what is learned in class and its practicality in everyday life. A vision of schooling of learning continues to be maintained that seems to marginalize the knowledge that young people have acquired during the transition to the new academic normality, through the media and digital platforms. Google Sites is a platform that allows you to congregate a variety of functions such as: videos, calendars, presentations, text files, spreadsheets, among others. For this reason, the objective is to design a web page for the teaching of mathematics in children of sixth grade of Basic General Education. This research used a mixed-approach methodology by applying a survey to 35 students from the public basic education school of the Metropolitan District of Quito. 16 teachers from the same school and an interview with 2 specialists. Information was collected, qualitative and quantitative results were analyzed and interpreted for the measurement of variables. The findings reflected that Google Sites being a multifunctional platform allows to enable the process of teaching mathematics due to the use of videos, spreadsheets, gamification, online documents, dynamic tables. © 2023 IEEE.
