Innovative Learning Tools for Young Children: Enhancing Basic Math and Reading Skills through Interactive Software

Resumen

- Current educational methods frequently struggle to fully engage students, especially in subjects such as mathematics and reading comprehension. This study introduces the use of educational software designed for children aged 9 to 11, aiming to enhance their performance in these essential areas. By incorporating interactive educational games and didactic exercises, the software aims to inspire students and support their learning process. The development of the software followed the agile Scrum methodology, involving both educators and students. Data was gathered through surveys and standardized tests to evaluate the software's impact on students' academic achievements. Preliminary findings suggest a notable improvement in the performance of students who utilized the educational software compared to those who adhered to traditional teaching methods. Additionally, there was an observed increase in motivation and class participation. The use of educational technologies has proven to be an effective strategy for enhancing learning. However, it is crucial to tailor the content and methodologies to meet the unique needs of each student. This study underscores the importance of ongoing research and development of innovative educational tools. The developed software has demonstrated its value in enhancing mathematical and reading comprehension skills in children aged 9 to 11. Future research should concentrate on personalizing content and integrating emerging technologies. © 2024 Seventh Sense Research Group®
