Recursos didácticos para la enseñanza de las matemáticas: una revisión sistemática

Abstract

The present work involved conducting a systematic review of the current state of research on didactic resources for teaching mathematics in master's projects in Ecuador over the last five years. The aim is to identify the types of didactic resources being used, their impact on mathematics learning, and the factors influencing their effectiveness. The MECIR and PRISMA methodologies were applied. The search was conducted in the COBUEC and RRAAE databases using the keywords: "didactic resources," "mathematics," "teaching," "learning," "master's projects." Nine studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. The results reveal a predominance in the use of educational software and interactive applications such as GeoGebra, Mathematica, Graspable Math, Scratch, Educaplay, Quizizz, and Moodle. These resources have demonstrated a positive impact on academic performance and student satisfaction. It is particularly evident that topics such as mathematical functions, conics, and algebraic expressions are addressed. The integration of educational technologies in mathematics teaching can transform the learning experience, making it more engaging, interactive, and personalized. However, more research is needed on the impact of concrete materials and playful games, especially in diverse socioeconomic contexts. The analyzed sample of studies is limited, and the results are specific to particular contexts, so further research is required to generalize the findings.
