Software GeoGebra como herramienta de enseñanza aprendizaje de funciones en la asignatura de matemática para estudiantes de primer año de bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract:This investigation was carried out in Colegio de Bachillerato Pindalhigh school, which is part of the fiscal education systemof Ecuador. The sample consisted of 80 high school first year students.The hypothesis formed, based on previous investigation, was the use of GeoGebra influencesteachingand learning of mathematical functions. Using a quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental design, information was collected through questionnaires usingGoogle Forms,these questionnaires were dividedin twoinstances, a pre-test applied to students belonging to the sample before the pedagogical interventionwith GeoGebra, and a post-test afterthe intervention. The study results showthat the students who participated in the learning activities withGeoGebra had an improvement of 1.39 in relation to the control group who did not participate in such activities. The statistical test employed was T-student thatshows a significance level (p) of < 0.01,which suggestthere is a significant difference in the arithmetic mean. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of GeoGebra at the pedagogical level contributes significantly to students to understand concepts and solve problems related to mathematical functions.
