GeoGebra para mejorar la comprensión de las funciones cuadráticas en estudiantes de décimo grado

Abstract

Abstract: The study of the quadratic function demonstrates that one of the greatest challenges faced by tenth-grade students at the Private Bilingual Educational Unit Academia Militar del Valle (CPU) is a lack of motivation and the absence of active methodologies and teaching resources such as dynamic software and interactive games. This has led teachers to use and promote technological tools to facilitate mathematics learning. The methodological approach used was quantitative and qualitative mixed, with a non-experimental design. The population consisted of all tenth-grade students, and a sample of 56 students was selected. A single-sample questionnaire was used at two different times (pretest and posttest) for data collection. The results obtained through the Chi-square statistical analysis indicated that the implementation of the GeoGebra software impacts the understanding of quadratic functions. This means that the implementation of GeoGebra helped overcome the difficulties in learning quadratic functions, as a significant improvement in understanding and mastery of the subject was evident.
