Programa multimedia de desarrollo de capacidades en alumnos del Primer Ciclo de Educación Primaria

Abstract

In this study we examine the theoretical and practical effects of Supermat, a neuropsychologically- based multimedia software program treating cognitive intervention, whose primary objectives with regard to capabilities development can be abridged as the following: development of spatial orientation, perception, memory and attention. To measure the results of our project, we utilized a sample group consisting of 56 informants from the initial two levels of primary education. Of these, 27 formed our control group while the remaining 29 comprised the test set. The latter were exposed to our focus multimedia program on a daily basis over a two-year span. In line with current studies of this type, the role of the educator as mediator was crucial to the program’s progress. One of the upshots of our research is that we are able to evaluate the multimedia program’s efficacy with specific regard to capability development from not only a psychopedagogical and didactic framework, but from a neuropsychophysiological foundation as well. The results of our research are encouraging and provoke us to further ponder innovative ways to tighten the gap between the contemporary neuroscience data and practical pedagogical practices.
