Impacto del uso de las herramientas computacionales como apoyo en el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje en la asignatura de Matemática en los estudiantes de Noveno Año de Educación Básica del Colegio de Bachiller “Juan de Velasco” de la ciudad de Riobamba en el periodo lectivo 2013 - 2014

Abstract

The objective of this research was to analyze the impact of the use of computational tools to support the process of teaching - learning in the subject of Mathematics. For which was used as exploratory research methodology in order to know the current status of this educational community through conducting surveys and interviews; statistical methods whose results were used to make a comparative study between the academic performance of traditional teaching and application software in the area of mathematics were used. The total population of 76 students were the ninth year of basic education to those who Geogebra tool was used on the platform as EDMODO. The academic performance of students is assessed in two stages, before and after using computational tools. To test the hypothesis Student t test was used to determine whether the computational tools influenced learning. The results indicated that 85% of students improved ratings of the subject with the use of computational tools. We conclude that the use of computational tools improved the cognitive process, encouraging them to study mathematics.
