Aprendizaje de Integrales dobles en regiones planas mediante GeoGebra y su incidencia en el rendimiento académico en los estudiantes de Calculo Diferencial e Integral del Instituto Superior Tecnológico del Azuay

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of the research was to determine how learning Double Integrals in flat regions using GeoGebra affects the academic performance of Differential and Integral Calculus students at the Technological Institute of Azuay. It was carried out from a positivist paradigm, with a quantitative, descriptive, correlational approach and a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 17 students for the experimental group of the Higher Technology in Software Development course and 13 for the control group of the Higher Technology in Mechatronics course, of 700 students. A pretest was carried out to assess prior knowledge and a didactic sequence using GeoGebra was implemented in the experimental group and a traditional class in the control group. Afterwards, a posttest was applied to both groups and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine a significant difference in the performance averages between both groups. The results suggest that the use of GeoGebra in learning Double Integrals has a positive impact on students' academic performance.
