Efecto del uso de GeoGebra en la interpretación algebraica y resolución de ecuaciones de primer grado en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de décimo año de EGB en la Unidad Educativa Bolívar

Abstract

Abstract: The central theme of this research was the effect of the use of GeoGebra on academic performance in solving first degree equations. The general objective is to analyze how this digital tool influences algebraic interpretation and equation solving in tenth grade students of EGB of the Bolivar Educational Unit, located in Tulcan, province of Carchi. A sample of 30 students of parallel E between 13 and 16 years old was selected. The approach used was quantitative with a quasi-experimental design that respected the inductive, deductive, analytical and hermeneutic methods. Observation and survey were used as techniques, applying the questionnaire as a data collection instrument, carried out in a pretest and posttest. This study concluded by promoting the use of GeoGebra because it significantly improved academic performance, it also promoted the graphical and algebraic understanding of concepts by increasing the percentage of correct answers in first degree equations exercises, it improved the motivation of students and their interaction in the educational environment, which validates it as a didactic complement in Mathematics.
