This research project came out when the sixth graders’ maths strengths and weaknesses were
determined. It was done through the results of Superate Test 2018 and a specific diagnostic
test. Consequently, a web platform was proposed to be implemented as an interactive and
didactic resource in order to facilitate the development of the academic tasks stated in the
area.
Through the design stage, some data collection instruments were applied such as non-
participant observation, parents’ interviews, students’ and parents’ surveys and a pre-test. As
the analysis was carried out, it was concluded that the learning community needed basic ICT
training, especially in the use of web platforms. Moreover, this process was crucial to the
implementation of the ICT tool of the project at this high school.
At the validation stage, surveys were conducted as well as post tests and the sixth graders
were exposed to non-participant observations. Based on this and on the use of the platform,
it was possible to assess the students’ maths logical progress and its strengthening. It is
necessary to point out that a great number of students made progress in the subject
specifically in the target topic (whole numbers).
After using the different data collection procedures, and coping with the whole diagnosis,
implementation and validation stage, it was concluded that, with the use of the platform, the
students showed more interest in maths which was reflected on all their academic
performance. In addition, it could be demonstrated that the ICT tool played an important role
in the sixth graders’ learning process which could be beneficial in the future not only in maths
but also in other subjects. Thus, this research project made an impact in facilitating the
students’ and teachers’ job at the school.
