Aplicación del GeoGebra en la enseñanza del Movimiento Rectilíneo Uniformemente Variado y su efecto en el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de primero de Bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzed the impact of GeoGebra on the academic performance of first-year high school students at the La Asunción Private Educational Unit. This study used a quantitative approach, based on a descriptive correlational approach and a quasi-experimental design. The study sample included 62 students divided into pre-formed groups, called control and experimental groups, with 32 and 30 students, respectively. Pretest and posttest tests were used to compare their academic performance before and after the intervention at the institution. The implementation of GeoGebra in the teaching of Uniformly Varied Rectilinear Motion showed favorable results. Using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test, a two-sided significance of p=0.006 was obtained, determining a statistically significant difference between the study groups, supporting the effectiveness of the technological resource. It is noteworthy that 83.34% of the experimental group's grades were between 7 and 10; this figure contrasts with the results from the physics baccalaureate exam, where national averages do not exceed the equivalent of 7 points.
