Elaboración de un Objeto de Aprendizaje para la enseñanza de temas de la asignatura de Cálculo Diferencial de la carrera de Matemáticas y Física de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

The present work of titling called Elaboration of a Learning Object for the teaching of themes for the assignature of Differential Calculus of the Mathematics and Physics career of the University of Cuenca has an aim to create an OA (Learning Object), to achieve a meaningful learning in students of the degree of Mathematics and Physics, in the subject of Differential Calculus. The OA contains videos, animations, evaluations, etc., which are housed within a platform called Exelearning, In order to develop this titling project we proposed to implement three chapters of development. The first chapter shows the difficulty of differential calculus and pedagogical theory, as well as the importance of Tic in education and the concept of the Learning Object. The second chapter aims to demonstrate the difficulty of students in understanding different topics in the subject of differential calculus. We analyze the information obtained through the surveys made to the future teachers in the field of study of Mathematics and Physics through the data obtained and the documentary review. In the third chapter, we develop the Learning Object that presents concepts and information related to the Differential Calculus, in topics of derivatives, maximum and minimums, medium value theorem and optimization problems. The methodology used in the work is quantitative; the techniques used are the survey, with its instrument the questionnaire and the documentary review, with which it was possible to demonstrate the existence of a problem when learning the subject of Differential Calculus.
