Abstract

The objective of this research was to apply GeoGebra software in the learning of linear functions with tenth grade students of the "Manuel de Jesús Calle" Educational Unit of the Quevedo canton, period 2021-2022. The approach that predominated in the research was quantitative, where a quasi-experimental design of pre and post-test was used, the sample consisted of 57 students distributed in two study groups, experimental (tenth B) and control (tenth A) with 28 and 29 students each parallel respectively, with whom learning activities were developed with contents of linear function, the instrument used consisted of a final test of open questions to evaluate the level of knowledge and understanding of the topics covered in class. The results obtained were statistically analyzed with the t student test in order to demonstrate if there is an improvement in the group with GeoGebra compared to the traditional classes in the topic of linear function. It is concluded that with the application of GeoGebra software as a didactic instrument, the level of understanding and development of skills in the learning of linear functions of the tenth-grade students of the Manuel de Jesús Calle Educational Unit improves significantly. According to the results of the final test, the highest concentration of the population, 62.07% of the tenth-grade students, reach the required learning.
