Use of Kahoot for Academic Reinforcement in Mathematics in the First Year of Technical Baccalaureate

Abstract

Academic reinforcements have become important tools within the teaching-learning processes in schools and colleges in the country, due to the shortcomings that have been dragging on since the pandemic. During the development of a class, a teacher must move towards the objective; if this is not met, the teacher is obliged to provide reinforcements to ensure that the students take ownership of the knowledge taught. According to data from the Ministry of Education, this deficiency is concentrated in students at the upper basic level and high school, which explains the high demand for strategies and activities focused on academic reinforcement. For this reason, this research proposes the use of a digital medium (kahoot), as an alternative and methodological means in academic reinforcement which will serve to strengthen and complement the academic gaps generated during the school process, in addition, it is considered as an learning tool used for different purposes; that allows the dynamic development of academic reinforcement programs for technical high school students. The institution under investigation is the Intercultural Bilingual Community Educational Unit “Jatari Unancha”, which has four professional figures with approximately 1,300 students where the need to implement different innovative strategies to promote the cognitive development of students that allows them to achieve optimal levels in understanding of subjects, especially mathematics, since this subject is of vital importance for comprehensive development.
