Learning the additive and multiplicative set of integers with the assistance of virtual learning objects

Abstract

This article summarizes a research conducted with seventh grade students of the E.I. CASD in the city of Armenia (Q), about the learning of the additive and multiplicative system of the integer numbers through Virtual Learning Objects (VLO). Also it shows the transformation of the learning units to the learning objects, which serves as a motivator axis for the development of classes. Recognizing that mathematics education is constantly changing, the starting point is a set of methodological strategies to address the object of study, until reaching the learning of the object of study through a technological mediation, which became a strategy that allows us to reduce learning difficulties. In this sense, an adaptation, innovation and implementation of information technology and communication in the learning objects, students are expected to acquire the math skills established by the Ministry of National Education (MEN); from concept additive and multiplicative system in the theoretical framework of Vergnaud conceptual fields. From the information obtained, are designed OVA additive and multiplicative systems of integers so as to be easily accessible, interoperable and reusable.
