Abstract

Geo-Gebra software as a didactic tool in the teaching of mathematics and its impact on the academic performance of students in the tenth year of basic education of the “Velasco Ibarra” Educational Unit in Canton Guamote .The problem that has been detected in the students of tenth grade was a high rate of poor performance in the learning of mathematics at the institution because there is a learning culture of the student body which was determined that we must make profound changes in the educational paradigm. The proposal for this process is to use the Geo-Gebra software didactic tool of mathematics. The research was based on a questionnaire with applied questions with the use of the Geo-Gebra software as a didactic resource in the teaching-learning of mathematics. Then , with the use of this tool, a satisfaction form was applied to students and teachers to later do a didactic guide using the educational software Geo-Gebra, giving importance to the completion of eye catching designs according to the school grade and with contest in line with the plans and current programs of geometry in the educational field. According to the work experience, a didactic guide was designed for the use of educational software specifically for inequalities. It is concluded that 72%of students surveyed consider that using ICTs would improve the learning of geometry and their academic performance. In addition, it was identified that the teachers of the Educational Unit do not use technological tools for the development of their classes; for that reason it is recommended to train the teachers of the area and promote the proposal in the institution so that it can be applied in the teachinglearning process.
