Implementación del software GeoGebra en el estudio de la integral definida y su incidencia en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa San Francisco.

Abstract

The objective was to implement GeoGebra software in the study of the definite integral to determine the impact on the academic performance of high school students of the San Francisco Educational Institution, developed under a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design with a sample of 110 students belonging to the third year of high school separated into two groups: 38 control group and 72 as experimental group. During the diagnostic phase, a survey was applied to the students who considered that it is important to implement technological tools in the study of the definite integral to motivate, improve the teaching process, develop skills and enhance their academic performance, thus estimating GeoGebra as software, a pre-test was also developed, which determined the homogeneity of the groups; Continuing with the research process during the foundation phase, the operation of the software was investigated as well as the distribution of the contents of the definite integral to design the plans in phase 3 and apply them during the implementation phase being the second partial phase of the second quarter; At the end of the implementation for the respective validation, a post-test was performed, obtaining an average for the control group of 6.32 and for the experimental group of 7.18; by means of the T Student analysis, a calculated t of 2.09 and a critical t of 1.98 were obtained, thus rejecting the null hypothesis and accepting the alternative. It is concluded that the implementation of GeoGebra software in the study of the definite integral has a significant impact on the academic performance of high school students of the San Francisco Educational Center.
