Abstract:

The research developed focuses on the use of web-based applications that facilitate the teaching-learning process in children from 3 to 5 years old; During the development of the research it was necessary to review concepts about different concentration techniques, learning methods and technological tools to support education.

The study covers all the actors of the process within the institution, authorities, teachers and children who belong to an Initial Education Center, located in the city of Ambato. The methodology applied was based on the triangulation of results from three verification instruments:
1) Interview with the authorities of the educational institution;
2) teacher surveys; and
3) observation sheets applied to children from 3 to 5 years of the aforementioned institution.

The process was carried out by separating the children into two groups A and B comprised of 15 children each; being the first who had access to traditional didactic resources, while the second group received support with technological resources. Seven study variables were determined: interest, attention, participation, concentration, compliance, attitude and motivation; which were the basis for observing and measuring the behavior of children from two groups.

The results of the research showed that traditional teaching processes generate disinterest in children, limiting their learning and the development of their potential; while the use of mobile applications generated greater interest and concentration in children for the fulfillment of learning achievements.

The proposal developed is proposed as a support for the solution of the learning problem in the classroom; the resource used is based on the use of new teaching-learning processes through the use of computer applications and tools.
