IMPACTO EN EL APRENDIZAJE DE LAS MATEḾTICAS UTILIZANDO LA COMPUTADORA

Abstract

The research contributes the impact that computing has as a teaching medium in mathematics classes, students are motivated and concentrate more easily when using the interactive computer-based didactic activities created in the Jclic program. There are several difficulties that students presented in math classes, lack of motivation, concentration, little interest and indisposition for the comments that the subject was difficult, which hindered the work of teachers. The objective of this research is to make computer teaching aids so that students and teachers are more likely to do math classes. The use of several methods and techniques in the investigation, determined the importance of using the didactic activities, to stimulate the interest and motivation of the students. The interviews and surveys applied to students and professors of the University, allowed the design of the activities responding to the needs of the students. The results obtained in the research were determined with the validation of the questionnaires, which allowed identifying and knowing the degree and lack of motivation on the part of the students and the taste and interest to use the computers in their classes. The results achieved significant changes that occurred when using the interactive didactic activities in the math classes, significantly improving the ability to solve mathematical problems, their motivation and interest increased towards the mathematical subject. Encouraging the participation and knowledge of students.
