Influencia de la plataforma GeoGebra en el aprendizaje de las operaciones con matrices

Abstract

Abstract: The research focused on evaluating the impact of the GeoGebra platform on the learning operations with matrices in high school students at the Unit Alfonso del Hierro La Salle Educational Center, Pichincha, Ecuador. The theoretical framework highlighted the importance of addressing the difficulties in this topic and the usefulness of GeoGebra. The methodology combined quantitative and qualitative approaches, starting with a diagnostic evaluation. One group used GeoGebra, while another followed methods traditional. The results, obtained through post-tests and surveys, revealed that the students had low initial knowledge in matrices. However, the group that used GeoGebra showed significant improvements in their academic performance, supporting the hypothesis that GeoGebra positively influenced matrix learning. Survey data indicated that students were satisfied with GeoGebra, considering it useful and effective for understanding concepts. In summary, this study concluded that GeoGebra significantly improved learning operations with matrices in high school students, supported by academic data and the perception positive feedback from students about educational technology.
