Aprender relaciones y funciones en el décimo año de educación general básica desde el modelo constructivista, utilizando autograph como una herramienta mediadora

Abstract

The national educational system of our country has been working on the implementation of new programs to be used in classrooms. This present investigation of how to learn mathematical relations and functions in the tenth grade with a constructivist model using Autograph as a mediating tool, provides a pedagogical tool for Mathematics teachers that will influence in the adequate use of the constructivist strategies and the TICs (Information Technology and Communications). To develop this proposal a theoretical framework is presented that aims to meet the general approaches to mathematics, constructiveness, and technology - courseware Autograph, in order for teachers and students to have alternative and innovative ways of work and resources that allow more autonomous and meaningful learning.

The research was carried out in the private school UPSE, featured a sample of 240 students. The methods used in the research are combined between the inductive and deductive, with the implementation of the survey as a technique and the questionnaire as an instrument of investigation; obtaining the results that show the low utilization of constructive methods and the use of information technologies,which observes a minimum interest of students in learning mathematics. Consequently, in terms of teachers,it demonstrates in general a low level of knowledge in the management of ICT and a total lack of knowledge on the management of the educational software like the Autograph. In order to contribute to this weakness of the pedagogical and technological management, a guide was developed for the Relations and Functions Block with learning activities and strategies that incorporate the vision of the constructive model.
