Abstract

This research aims to study how virtual games how they influence the learning processes in mathematics , specializing in basic sciences freshman year of high school in the Salesian Technical Education Unit , located in the Cuenca , Azuay province, during the 2013-2014 school . For which it has taken a sample of 66 students and 4 teachers. Were applied as research tools, a survey for students and one for teachers, observation of the training class, and a teacher interview. Generally it has been concluded that video games influence students in the learning process of mathematics because things with them which are then used at school are learned in addition that these do not affect academic performance , so too, the teachers but not have complete confidence in these because they can lead to indiscipline and breach of duties , they are not reluctant to use, for that reason , teachers need to receive advice as to the application of current educational resources based on new technologies information and Communication, as students perceive that if we need a change in the method of teaching mathematics . For this reason, it is submitted on the proposal to apply mathematical virtual games for first year of high school the same as being a fun way entusiasmarían and respond better to the learning process of students.
