| description | The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effect of an application for mobile devices, developed for the learning of algebraic operations in university students. The research has a correlational quantitative approach, with a pre- and post-test experimental design in two groups. The experimental group used the AppMatetics application, designed for Android devices, for three weeks. The sample consisted of 196 first-semester students, belonging to a Mexican educational institution, who were divided into two groups using the matching method. In the post-test, the experimental group had a mean score of 3.87, while the control group had a mean of 2.97. The p was 0.034, less than 0.05, which indicates that there was a significant difference in the scores of the experimental and control groups. It is concluded that the users of the AppMatetics software had a better performance than those who did not use it, which reinforces the need to incorporate mobile devices in the training process of students, using applications specially designed for this. |

Este artículo tiene como finalidad evaluar el efecto de una aplicación para dispositivos móviles, desarrollada para el aprendizaje de las operaciones algebraicas en estudiantes universitarios. La investigación tiene un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo correlacional, con diseño experimental de pre- y post-prueba en dos grupos. El grupo experimental utilizó la aplicación AppMatetics, diseñada para dispositivos Android, durante tres semanas. La muestra estuvo conformada por 196 estudiantes de primer semestre, pertenecientes a una institución educativa mexicana, que fueron divididos en dos grupos mediante el método de emparejamiento. En la postprueba, el grupo experimental tuvo una calificación media de 3.87, mientras que el grupo control obtuvo una media de 2.97. El p fue de 0.034, menor de 0.05, lo cual indica que hubo una diferencia significativa en las calificaciones de los grupos experimental y control. Se concluye que los usuarios del software AppMatetics tuvieron un mejor rendimiento que aquellos que no lo usaron, lo cual refuerza la necesidad de incorporar los dispositivos móviles en el proceso formativo de los estudiantes, empleando aplicaciones especialmente diseñadas para ello.
