Aplicación del software GeoGebra como estrategia didáctica para el aprendizaje de operaciones con vectores en los estudiantes de primero de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa Isabel de Godín-Riobamba.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to use the GeoGebra software as a teaching strategy for learning operations with vectors on first baccalaureate students. from the Isabel de Godín High School, in Riobamba city, school year 2022 -2023. To reach the objective, it was necessary to identify the most common problems of students when they have to address operations with vectors, the teaching strategy was developed using GeoGebra with a constructivist approach, and which includes activities that induce reflection and problem solving, facilitating the connection between abstract concepts and visual representations, a test validated by expert teachers on the subject was applied and the reliability of the test was measured with Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. The study population was made up of two parallel of Students from first baccalaureate who were selected through a non-probabilistic sample. For the statistical analysis, the t-student test for independent samples was used, a p value of 0.000005002 was obtained, verifying that there is a significant difference in the academic performance of the experimental group after applying the proposed teaching strategy, when reviewing the summary statistics of the control group and experimental group, a higher level of academic performance is seen in the experimental group; in addition, in the Post Test the average increased from 4.86 to 7.61, confirming the result obtained with the statistical approval. To sum up, a notable increase in academic performance is evident when using the GeoGebra software as a teaching strategy for learning operations with vectors. These results support that the proposed teaching strategy contributes to the improvement in the academic performance of students.
