El software GeoGebra como recurso didáctico para el aprendizaje de vectores y sus operaciones: una propuesta didáctica

Abstract

In this research project, we looked at how using teaching sequences with the support of GeoGebra software affects teaching "Vectors and their Operations" to First year of high school BGU students at the “Unidad Educativa Particular Pasos” during the 2022-2023 school year. We conducted five teaching sequences, applying a quasi-experimental methodology with a descriptive quantitative approach. Students from the First "A" were the experimental group, and those from the First "B" were the control group. We worked with academic performance and motivation as research variables. To gather information, we used a knowledge test consisting of ten questions and a perception survey, which were validated through the judgment of experts. To interpret the test scores of students in the control and experimental groups, we carried out a complete statistical analysis in JAMOVI software. We conducted the Shapiro-Wilk test to evaluate data normality, the Levene test to evaluate variance homogeneity, and the Student's t-test to compare results. We concluded that the teaching sequences supported by GeoGebra software significantly improved the academic performance of students in the experimental group. To analyze motivation, the results were tabulated and statistically analyzed. It was evident that students felt motivated to learn.
