GeoGebra como herramienta didáctica para el aprendizaje de las cónicas y su incidencia en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de nivelación de la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo 2021.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to apply GeoGebra free software as a didactic-technological tool for the teaching-learning process of conics and its impact on the academic performance of the Analytical Geometry course of the Leveling students of the Higher Polytechnic School of Chimborazo. The design used is quasi-experimental, where a control group and an experimental group were identified with 85 and 86 students, respectively, from the subject of Geometry, analytics, the following research methods were used: Hypothetical-Deductive based on the hypothesis that the use of GeoGebra program has a significant impact on the academic performance of ESPOCH leveling students. The descriptive method on the development of the students in the topic’s circumference, parabola, ellipse and hyperbola both with the traditional method and with the use of GeoGebra, the correlational method of the academic performance obtained from the experimental group and control group. Data collection was carried out through the application of objective tests distributed in six instruments: a diagnostic test composed of 10 questions; 4 workshops of 5 items and a final test of 10 questions. As a result, it was obtained that 43% of students start with grades less than or equal to 4/10 and only 1% with grades between 9 and 10/10. In correlating the diagnostic test, a significant difference was evidenced in the median of the scores. evaluations (p value = 0.000), where the scores of the students in the control group are between 1 and 1.8 points higher than the scores of the experimental group. The themes of circumference, parabola, and ellipse at p = 0.034; 0.022 and 0.017 present a significant difference in favor of the experimental group. It is concluded that the use of the GeoGebra Program for teaching conics positively affects three of the four topics analyzed.
