Diseño de interfaz de una aplicación móvil para el aprendizaje de funciones matemáticas, dirigida a estudiantes de bachillerato en la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

This project consists of the design of the interface for a mobile application for the learning of mathematical functions for high school students in the city of Cuenca whose transversal axis is gamification. “YUPA”, designed to facilitate the learning of mathematical functions in high school students in Cuenca. Through gamification, it seeks to encourage autonomy and interest in mathematics in a demographic group that has traditionally shown some resistance to this discipline. The project mixes pedagogical, technological and design fundamentals, with a user-centered approach. Exhaustive research was carried out that included the application of surveys, empathy maps to understand the needs and preferences of students and other stakeholders involved in the problem. The results of this research served as the basis for the design of an intuitive and attractive interface, guided by Jesse James Garrett's five planes methodology. As a result of this process, an interactive prototype materialized that gives life to “YUPA”, a digital space where “learning mate is easy”.
