Diseño y evaluación de una aplicación para Educación Física de orientación deportiva en el medio natural

This is an innovation proposal that aims to be carried out in the context of activities in the natural environment in relation to information and communication technologies through the subject of Physical Education in a Secondary High School. The aim is to be able to innovate in our educational context with the incorporation of new technologies and to be able to verify the results, thus being the center of our work the design and evaluation of an application that we believe improves the learning experience of students. The intervention has consisted, therefore, of the development and implementation of a mobile application (Orienta Educacion Deportiva) based on the analysis of the design criteria and usability of various applications related to the subject, which proposes interactive and updated paths in the educational process, in order to improve and enrich the teaching-learning process of the students through the use of digital devices.Consequently, one hundred students have used and evaluated this application during the 2019-2020 school year. For the evaluation, they have completed a questionnaire about their usability and experience in the teaching-learning process, as well as expressed their opinion in relation to the use of the application in orientation. After analyzing the results obtained, it can be seen that the students value the application in a very positive way in reference to its characteristics, with conformity values above 85%, also demonstrating a degree of acquisition of new contents in their learning experience with values of 87%. The Physical Education is called to follow processes of digital immersion, associated with the use of technology, especially mobile (Diaz, 2019). Therefore, with the implementation of this innovation proposal, an attempt is made to promote the use of new technologies.
