Diseño y desarrollo de una aplicación como herramienta innovadora para el aprendizaje de la ley de los gases ideales

The objective of this work is to report the design and development of an App in the iOS system for the study of the ideal gas law with 11th grade students at a private school in Bogota, Colombia, since in recent years this topic has generated low levels. Therefore, an App has been designed as a teaching tool that can strengthen learning. Different sources of work point out that the use of Information and Communication Technologies, such as APPs, can potentially favor learning. The methodology followed for the design and development is ISD-MeLO, which focuses on the outline and progress of educational content and is based on the ADDIE instructional design model; the phases are: 1) Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Development, 4) Implementation and 5) Evaluation. The App was developed with the Xcode® program and SwiftUI® programming language. The results indicate that relying on the ISD-MeLO methodology is pertinent, however choosing a pedagogical model that supports the design and development of the App gives greater coherence. In conclusion, an innovative way to build digital educational resources, as a tool for learning, is to adequately articulate the possibilities of software engineering with the educational proposal underlying the “Physics Pocket” App in this case.
