Uso de los simuladores matemáticos y su influencia en el aprendizaje de los límites de una función real

Abstract

Abstract:The objective of this study is to determine how the use of mathematical simulators (Wólfram Alpha, GeoGebra, Derive and Symbolab) affects the learning process of limits of a real function in students of the Science Pedagogy career Experimental Mathematics and Physics at the University of Cuenca. In this sense, the type The research is non-experimental, also with a mixed research approach. Taking as a related sample of 30 intervention students. The study is worked with a pre test and post test which are the same, but carried out at different times, the The result that is analyzed is the difference that exists in the two evaluations. The analysis of The data was based on the non-parametric McNemar test that is used to compare the proportion of subjects switching between two measurement moments to evaluate the impact significant use of the simulator in learning the limits, with a level of significance bilateral 0.006. Thus concluding that the management of the simulators has a positive impact in academic performance.
