Software GeoGebra como herramienta tecnológica en 3D para la enseñanza de Prismas y Pirámides: Una práctica didáctica

Abstract

This research work examines the impact of the use of GeoGebra software in the learning of the topic of Prisms and Pyramids in the students of Tenth grade of EGB of the Unidad Educativa Particular Sudamericano during the school year 2021-2022 in Cuenca, Ecuador. For this purpose, six classes were conducted following a quasi-experimental methodology with a quantitative approach of descriptive scope. The tenth grade "B" students of General Basic Education formed the experimental group, while the tenth grade "A" students were the control group, selected by lottery to avoid bias. The research variables were academic performance and student motivation. A knowledge test and a perception survey, validated by expert judgment, were used to collect the information. The interpretation of the results obtained by the students of the control and experimental groups in the knowledge test was performed by means of a complete statistical analysis in the JAMOVI software, including the Shapiro-Wilk test to evaluate the normality of the data, the Levene test to evaluate the homogeneity of variances, and the Student's t-test to compare the results. The use of GeoGebra software will increase students' academic performance and motivation in the classroom.
