Impacto de la herramienta GeoGebra en la comprensión y el pensamiento geométrico sobre cónicas en estudiantes de bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract: This research aimed to analyze the impact of using the technological tool GeoGebra on the understanding of conics and the development of geometric thinking in high school students. The research methodology used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. It was conducted at the 5 de Agosto Fiscal Educational Unit with 60 third-year high school students. The groups were divided into two groups: a control group using traditional methodology and an experimental group that used GeoGebra in the teaching-learning process. Data collection instruments included a pretest, posttest, and a satisfaction survey. The statistical results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group on the subject of conics. It was also found that the use of visual and dynamic resources favored the conceptual understanding of conics. The results indicate that the GeoGebra tool proved to be an effective strategy for enriching the educational process. It is recommended that its use be expanded in future research and at different educational levels.
