GeoGebra como herramienta didáctica para mejorar el proceso de enseñanza de funciones reales, racionales y trigonométricas en la Unidad Educativa Gualaceo

Abstract

The present research work entitled "GeoGebra as a didactic tool to improve the teaching process of real, rational and trigonometrical functions at Unidad Educativa Gualaceo" is an implementation to the teaching-learning process which aims to verify if the use of digital tools leads to meaningful learning in students and also tries to respond to the question: Use GeoGebra as a digital tools in the classroom helps the teacher in the meaningful learning process? A quasi-experimental study was conducted to implement this proposal in which two groups participated, a control and an experimental one. Differentiated lesson plans and formative assessments were also used to measure the domain of skills. Once data was collected, a statistical analysis was run to determine if there was a significant difference among the descriptors and to establish the dimension of the skills domain. In addition, focal groups were also implemented to define the satisfaction usage level of GeoGebra as a didactic tool. After the intervention and based on the descriptors and focal groups, it was concluded that the use of digital tools does generate a learning gap in students' learning.
