Desarrollo de un entorno virtual de enseñanza para niños con problemas de aprendizaje de dislexia y discalculia en el centro UDIPSAI UCACUE.

Abstract

Currently, digital technologies are experiencing significant growth in the educational field; however, their effectiveness for people with disabilities, such as children with dyslexia and dyscalculia, remains a concern in the teaching-learning processes. Under this context, the present work proposes to develop a virtual environment applied for children in the centre of the Diagnostic Unit, Psychopedagogical Research and Support for Inclusion (UDIPSAI) in order to optimise their educational experience, whose implementation is based on an agile framework using the Scrum methodology. The experimental design method and quantitative and qualitative observatory were also applied in the use of the software developed according to the requirements. For the analysis of the students' sample, evaluation techniques and instruments were used with rubrics using the Likert scale and the observation of the interaction with the use of the software product. Finally, it was concluded the importance of the use of virtual environments as a tool with great potential in the education of children with dyslexia and dyscalculia, considering the additional challenges they face with some cognitive problems.
