Uso de GeoGebra en el aprendizaje de funciones racionales en estudiantes de bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract: Learning rational functions can be a challenge for high school students, one of the causes being the disconnection between the graphical and algebraic interpretation of this mathematical concept. In this context, the objective of this research was to determine the impact of the use of GeoGebra as a tool in the learning of rational functions in high school students. The research was developed under a positivist paradigm methodology, mixed approach, non-experimental design and descriptive scope. The study involved the participation of 28 high school students with whom we worked in three stages: application of a pre-test, development of didactic activities using GeoGebra and finally a post-test and perception survey. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in order to highlight relevant conclusions and verify the validity of the hypothesis. The results allowed us to conclude that the use of GeoGebra as a learning strategy had a positive impact on both students' performance and perception.
