La utilización del Software Geo-Gebra como apoyo didáctico en la enseñanza de los temas de Sistemas de Ecuaciones y Funciones y su relación con el rendimiento académico de los Estudiantes de Décimo año de la Unidad Educativa Tuntatacto, Cantón Guano

Abstract

To determine whether the use of the GeoGebra software as didactic support in the teaching of mathematics in the areas of equations and index functions in academic performance among students in the tenth year of Basic Education at Tuntatacto School, its scope determines a path in the field of resource using as an example of application for this tool the contents of systems of equations and functions. This study was descriptive, because the academic performance was analyzed in the students all through the process of the research. The hypothesis was formulated in function to investigate whether the use of the GeoGebra software influences the student achievement. From the results discussed in the contributions record first quarter averaged parallel reflected “A” equal to 8.38 and in recording the same partial contributions averaging parallel “B” of 6.93 that they have been taken for assessing the hypothesis with chi square test statistic of what is concluded that the calculated chi-square value (22.54) is higher than the tabulated chi square (7.81) the result is highly significant, it means that in the academic performance of students using Geo-Gebra as didactic support in the teaching of subject systems of equations and functions exceeds the performance of students who did not use it, thus, the hypothesis was proven. The GeoGebra Mathematics software verified the hypothesis of an alternative option to the limited use of educational software by teachers for mathematics within the investigated institution.
