El software GeoGebra como recurso didáctico para la enseñanza de sólidos de revolución: una propuesta didáctica para la Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

This research examined the impact caused by using a didactic sequence guide with the support of the GeoGebra software in teaching the applications of the definite integral, in the students of the subject of Mathematics 2 of the Architecture major of the University of Cuenca, during the academic period September 2023-February 2024. For this purpose, four didactic sequences were designed that try to cover all these topics, which were applied following a quasi-experimental methodology with a quantitative and correlational approach. We worked with two groups; Group 1 of the second semester was the control group and group 2 were the experimental group. Furthermore, as variables for this research, we worked with the student's academic performance and motivation. To collect the information, a knowledge test and a perception survey were used, which were validated using expert criteria. The conclusion was reached, after having done a statistical analysis such as the Student T test in conjunction with tests such as the Shapiro-Wilk and Levene, that the didactic sequences proposed with the help of GeoGebra improved the academic performance of the students in the group. experimental in relation to those in the control group and in turn increased the student's motivation since they were more predisposed to learn these topics.
