Abstract

“Stone Age” is constructive software tailored for 3rd grade elementary school students aimed at teaching prehistory. Its design and structure were based on the results of a diagnostic study that was carried out with the purpose of brining to light the cognitive weaknesses faced by students in comprehending the past. More specifically, it focused on era-contextual criteria and the students representations regarding the lives of prehistoric people. The present paper presents, in detail, the software’s learning environment, along with an evaluation of the learning results after its implementation in real class conditions.
