Influence of Educaplay on the construction of meaningful learning in the area of language and literature among 7th grade students at the Abdón Calderón educational unit, Quito 2025

Abstract

This study addresses the problem that arises when there is limited use of technological tools in classrooms, which negatively impacts students' motivation and development of writing and reading comprehension skills. The objective was to analyze the impact of the Educaplay platform on the academic performance of 7th-grade students at the "Abdón Calderón" Educational Unit in Quito, in the area of Language and Literature. The methodology was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design focused on a single group. The nonparametric Wilcoxon test was also used, which determined significant differences between the pretest and posttest. Furthermore, students expressed positive perceptions regarding the use of Educaplay to facilitate their understanding of topics and improve their interest in reading and writing. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that the use of Educaplay has a positive effect on the teaching-learning process, thus promoting a much more interactive and effective pedagogical approach.
