La modelación con apoyo de software libre y los cambios en los procesos de aprendizaje en matemáticas en los estudiantes de primero de bachillerato

Abstract

The present work shows the main fundamentals and some methodological aspects in a research project involving the processes of mathematical modeling and the use of technological resources in two educational institutions. The main reasons to undertake the project have been the recent incorporation of the mathematical modeling in the Ecuadorian curriculum, and the limited research at a national level that reports the advantages or disadvantages of using this methodology in the classroom. For the execution of the study, we worked through action-participation research, with a reflective and collaborative approach to the process. This approach has the direct participation of those involved in the implementation process through discussion forums, roundtables, and work panels.
