Authoring of educational mobile apps for the mathematics-learning analysis

Published: 24 October 2018 Publication History

Abstract

The incorporation of mobile applications in educational environments generates a large amount of information resulting from the interaction of students with these applications. The analysis of this information can be of significant importance. The teacher may find it useful, as it can help them to make decisions or to assess the process of teaching/learning that it is applying within its teaching activities, allowing to improve the results or to detect certain patterns. However, the development of mobile applications that are capable of incorporating these features is not trivial for a user who does not have proper programming knowledge. This paper presents the vectorialZ application to support mathematics learning. This application has been developed using VEDILS mobile application authoring environment, which is based on MIT App Inventor 2. Finally, this application has been used with students to evaluate its usefulness and to obtain results about the students' learning.
