Abstract:

Currently, the use of the tools of information technology and communication in education has begun to strengthen the field of teaching and learning, however, the application of pedagogical models that focus on student learning increase response apprehension of knowledge by the learner. From this perspective, metacognition becomes an incentive to improve the student to self-regulate their learning processes. Therefore, this research includes a component in the area of digital technology for the process of design and development of Multimedia Educational Material (MDM) in Plant Histology for obtaining a package containing a digital book software and a series of video explaining the issues that relate to the topic of biology worked through tools Adobe suite. On the other hand, the pedagogical application was performed using a metacognitive strategy to improve the learning process of students Lic. In Agricultural Production (LPA). Followed proceeded to its application to the courses of Biology, Botany and Plant Education I, II and IV semester LPA, respectively. The implementation of MDM regulated metacognitive strategy was the teacher and teaching assistants for each course during the semester as axes. This was done to generate self-learning skills in students. Thus, the main findings relate to any of the courses students lost the shaft material in which the MDM Plant Histology was running. Moreover, in the scope of skills and metacognitive skills, students met up on average in each of the courses by 1.0, equivalent to an improvement of twice that they set according to the initial test performed. In conclusion, the combination of MDM and the use of an educational component allows and enables students to acquire skills that will facilitate learning
