| Summary: | Higher education faces a
significant challenge and an important opportunity by
updating its curriculum and creating
digital tools that drive and improve
learning processes and outcomes. This entails
shifting the educational approach from
passive students to active students, who generate
knowledge through active interaction with
instructors. The study of differential equations
is fundamental to the training of
engineering students. However, learning this subject
often represents a significant challenge due to
its abstract and complex nature. In this context,
there is a need to explore innovative strategies
that facilitate conceptual understanding and
skill development in this field. The main objective
of this research was to understand the
learning processes of differential equations in
university students. Specifically, it sought
to identify learning styles and
students' perceptions of this subject, describe the
dimensions present in their learning process,
and analyze the effectiveness of teaching tools, such as
a mobile application, to improve conceptual understanding . To achieve these objectives, a mixed-method methodology with an explanatory scope and a quasi-experimental design
was employed . The sample consisted of 28 Differential Equations students, with an average age of 20. Data were collected through surveys and classroom observations, involving engineering students who used the mobile application as a complementary teaching resource. The findings revealed a diversity of learning styles and perceptions, highlighting the importance of adapting teaching strategies to these individual differences. In addition, important dimensions such as motivation and teaching context must be considered . The study also evaluated the effectiveness of teaching tools, such as the Ecuadif mobile application, in improving conceptual understanding . It was found that the use of this application was effective in learning differential equations. It also emphasizes the need to understand students' learning preferences and suggests the implementation of student-centered pedagogical approaches that integrate various tools to improve the learning process. |
