Uso de las TIC en el área de matemáticas en el nivel bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa 31 de Octubre

Abstract

Abstract: This research, entitled: Use of ICTs in Mathematics at the High School Level at the "31 de Octubre" Educational Unit in La Troncal Canton, analyzes the lack of use of technological tools in teaching and learning for students' understanding of mathematical calculations. High school mathematics teachers' lack of preparation, training, and motivation in ICTs has a negative impact on students' learning of mathematical calculations, especially when applying them in daily life. Due to this problem, the objective was established to examine the application of ICTs in mathematics learning in the first, second, and third years of high school. The relationship between the two variables will be analyzed: independent, use of ICTs in mathematics at the high school level; and dependent, academic performance and development of mathematical skills in high school students. The principal, mathematics teachers, and students were interviewed. Teachers were offered tools, such as the use of GeoGebra as a technological resource in teaching mathematics to high school students, related to the use of new digital trends.
