Implementación y aplicación de prácticas experimentales de laboratorio en el aprendizaje de la geometría analítica en los alumnos del tercer año de bachillerato del colegio particular Universitario “La Asunción”

Abstract

The research problem is the "Implementation and application of experimental laboratory practices in the learning of Analytical Geometry in the third year high school pupils of the Colegio Particular Universitario La Asunción".

The results of such research make possible to improve the learning of the block of Analytical Geometry in the students of the Third Bachelor's degree in the subject of Mathematics belonging to the UnidadEducativa La Asunción, through the use of experimental practices lab using, in order to do so, the mathematics software Geogebra.

The research of quasi-experimental design has been used for the contrast of the hypothesis, the "t" test for selected data. In addition 10 practices were developed where the student can create a myriad of exercises and applications of the conic sections and achieve the skills that are specified in the regulation of law, the same that are improved year after year which evidence the importance of such an application. The data collected in exploratory tests and surveys were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings of study were: knowledge, creativity and group work were most appreciated the capabilities. Therefore, the study provided evidence favorable to implement the software Geogebra, as a didactic tool in the experimental practices under a constructivist methodology
