Abstract

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the plataform LearningApps as a didactic resource designed to improve academic performance and promote a more dynamic learning experience in the subjects of Language and Literature. It seeks to analyze how the interactive and personalized activities offered by the platform contribute to the development of reading and writing skills and to increase student participation. In addition, the study examines teachers’ and students’ perceptions regarding the tool’s usefulness, user-friendly, and interactivity. Objective: To implement a technological strategy that strengthens interactive learning through dynamic and personalized activities among Basic General Education students at Unidad Educativa Miguel Merchán Ochoa. This digital platform facilitates the creation of educational content, and its application enhances teaching and learning processes. Therefore, LearningApps fosters personalized learning by simplifying the creation and production of didactic resources adapted to students’ needs, learning styles, and proficiency levels, leading to a better understanding of the academic content. Methodology: A mixed-method approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques within a descriptive and applied research design. The study population consisted of 150 Basic General Education students, with a sample of 100 participants selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Data were collected through surveys administered to students and teachers, direct observations, and the analysis of diagnostic and final assessments. In the initial evaluation (pre-test), most students demonstrated medium or low performance levels. Subsequently, after implementing the pedagogical proposal using the LearningApps platform, a significant improvement was observed in the post-test results. Surveyed teachers reported that the use of this tool fosters collaborative learning, creativity, and active participation, particularly in the area of Language and Literature. In summary, LearningApps proved to be an effective didactic resource that enhances interaction and cooperative work, adapting to the teaching process and students' real learning needs.
