Uso de Gauthmath para el estudio de funciones cuadráticas en primer año de bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract: Currently, mobile applications have a significant impact on education; these tools and web resources have significantly transformed the constructivist pedagogical model by becoming an innovative resource for teachers as well as for students, allowing to achieve significant learning by incorporating it as a new methodological strategy. The appropriate use of these innovative technologies in a synchronous and asynchronous way, creating collaborative learning environments, favoring the understanding of concepts that will improve the pedagogical practice, since it will form digital competences and will improve the professional profile of the teacher. The objective of this research work is to determine the impact of the use of the Gauthmath application for the study of quadratic functions in the first year of high school. The results obtained were based on a selected bibliographic research and subjected to an analysis through the qualitative-quantitative mixed method, with an exploratory field character; as well as bibliographic-social in mobile applications. The advantages and disadvantages they present at the time of their application, as well as, some tactics and guidelines that facilitate their appropriate use. The conclusion is that the use of mobile applications awakens creativity, interest and the development of critical thinking in students. It optimizes time, encourages innovation and promotes interest in research, especially awakens the ability to make a constructivist critical analysis, indispensable skills of knowledge.
