Abstract

The results of the application of two technological systems are delivered to the Metallurgical Chemistry course, which are taught in the Mining and Environmental Engineering courses. During the entire period of classes, the interactive whiteboard (ebeam) was applied to carry out the theoretical classes. The evaluations used an online evaluation system, “Socrative”. The results of the use of these systems were compared with the academic performance, of the promotions of the years 2014, 2015 and 2016, in which the years 2014 and 2015, the traditional methodology was used, in 2016, it began to be used the interactive whiteboard, at the end of the course a survey was taken of the students to verify their satisfaction. To check the correlation of the data obtained, statistical variables, such as the student's T and the F test, are applied to determine the impact of the use of the interactive whiteboard and the Socrative program. When observing the results we can conclude that. The application of this technology had an important effect on the performance of the course, constantly increasing the percentage of approval of the students, this is confirmed by the results obtained in the student T test and Test F. The presence of these technological elements makes the student more motivated in classes, wanting to learn about the topics covered. The evaluations being online, the students can obtain their grade when they finish their evaluation. The application of these technologies makes the teacher have new tools to develop their classes in a more comfortable way, since they can interact with the projections, with the exercises that the students develop, since they have instant feedback.
