Integración de un sistema de visualización de grafos para la representación estadística de trayectorias de aprendizaje de juegos matemáticos

Abstract

Within the context of the emphasis on mathematics education of the Interinstitutional Doctorate in Education (DIE), a web application for mathematical games has been developed. This application currently captures data about players, including general information and moves made in the games. However, this data is stored in CSV format, which limits its usefulness and understanding by users. Continuing, when addressing the problem of data storage using the CSV format, the use of databases through the SQL (Structured Query Language) language is proposed. Using a database will make data storage easier and, in addition, obtaining it more efficiently. Furthermore, using the SQL language will make it easier to manipulate when the amount of data is very large. When using something like the CSV format, it is observed that data manipulation becomes problematic as the data increases, so the use of SQL will greatly aid. Currently, the website developed by DIE's mathematics education emphasis teachers takes CSV data and uses it for analysis and interpretation processes through the use of graphs. However, data analysis and interpretation are inefficient. When creating a graph with the collected data, the CSV must be downloaded and then read with a specific MATLAB program that interprets the data. These data will be visible in a graph generated by the program. This allows for the observation of each node, which will represent each data item collected, and then, through this, the behavior of users, or in this case, players, can be observed.
