Abstract

The design of multimedia materials adopted in our proposal is based on a constructivist centred approach in providing the children with mediated learning experiences that foster the acquisition of strategies and the self-regulation of their learning process. To this end, we use the figure of a mascot who acts as their guide in resolving tasks set them in language, mathematics, and environmental knowledge. The guidance is not limited to telling them that their answer is right or wrong, but attempts to get them to reflect on the procedures they applied, the mistakes they might have made, the relationships that have to be established between the different concepts involved in the problem, the cognitive strategies they have to put into effect to complete the task, etc. This design is wrapped in a series of adventure games matching the centres of interest shown by children according to their age.
