Uso del GeoGebra para la enseñanza de las integrales dobles y su incidencia en el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de Ingeniería

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the impact of teaching Double Integrals with GeoGebra on the academic performance of students of Multivariate Mathematical Analysis of the Civil Engineering program at UTPL. In this sense, the research was approached from a positivist paradigm being quantitative research, with descriptive correlational scope and quasi experimental design, taking as a sample 40 students for the experimental group and 40 for the control group, from a population of 200 students. A pretest was applied with the purpose of diagnosing the previous contents related to the double integral in order to elaborate and implement a didactic sequence in which only GeoGebra was used in the experimental group, then a posttest was applied which allowed using Student's t-test to find that there is a significant difference in the averages of both groups. Finally, a survey was applied to the experimental group showing that they were very satisfied with the use of GeoGebra in their classes. Thus, concluding that the use of GeoGebra has a positive impact on the academic performance of these students.
