Wolfram Alpha como recurso digital para el aprendizaje de la derivada de una función real de variable real en estudiantes de bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract: This research focuses on understanding the impact of Wolfram Alpha as a digital resource for improving the learning of the derivative of a real function of a real variable. It addresses the problem of reducing biases related to mathematics learning and aims to provide students with the opportunity to incorporate digital tools to strengthen their cognitive abilities. The population consisted of 69 third-year high school students from the Pablo Muñoz Vega Fiscomisional Educational Unit, from which 59 were selected using the formula for calculating finite populations. The study was conducted within a positivist and interpretive paradigm, employing a field and correlational approach. A quantitative approach predominated, complemented by qualitative data. Furthermore, a non-experimental design was used, with a descriptive-explanatory scope. Data collection was carried out using a pre- and post-test resolution questions with, to ensure the reliability of the information obtained The descriptive and inferential results validated the hypotheses, concluding, in general, that Wolfram Alpha had a positive impact on the academic performance in the studied area.
