Implementation of icts in a university curriculum for the development of math and critical reading skills during Covid-19 pandemic

This research was developed to determine the effectiveness of usingICT as part of the curriculum of Colombian university students in the areas ofmathematics and critical reading during the COVID-19 pandemic. The UniversityAcademic Accompaniment Plan (AAP) was aimed at freshmen students whoseICFES test results were below the national average. The study’s approach wasquantitative, where two semesters were analyzed 2020-I and 2020-II consistingin 189 and 146 surveyed students, respectively. The SPSS version 22 statisticalprogram and the Academic Valuation Software were used, and results were param-eterized by two tests a pre-test and post-test. Mann Whitney’s U-test was appliedto contrast the two semesters, to analyze the effectiveness of each semester, theT-Student test was used for related samples and the Wilcoxon test in cases wherethere was no normality; finally, an exploratory factorial and reliability analysiswas carried out through the Cronbach’s alpha statistic to determine how relatedthe questionnaire questions were in terms of quality of service and methodolo-gies. According to the results of this study, it was found that the AAP in thetwo semesters managed to be statistically effective and the methodologies imple-mented for the approach and development of skills through ICT in both semestersresulted to be statistically significative, reliable, and adequate. These findings leadto the conclusion that the AAP in mathematics and critical reading was effectivefor skills development, through the working process in remote access during theCOVID-19 pandemic
