Secuencias didácticas para la enseñanza de prismas y pirámides con el apoyo del software GeoGebra

Abstract

This research work analyzes the impact of using didactic sequences with the support of GeoGebra software for the teaching of the topic "Prisms and Pyramids" in tenth grade students of EGB of the South American Educational Unit during the school year 2021-2022, for this purpose six didactic sequences were carried out and applied following a quasi-experimental methodology with a quantitative approach of descriptive scope. The tenth grade "B" students were the experimental group and the tenth grade "A" students were the control group, thus chosen by means of a lottery so that there is no impartiality. As research variables we worked with academic performance and motivation, for the collection of information we used a knowledge test and a perception survey that were validated by expert judgment. For the interpretation of the results of the control and experimental group students in the knowledge test, a complete statistical analysis was performed in the JAMOVI software, the Shapiro-Wilk test was performed to evaluate the normality of the data, the related Levene's test to evaluate the homogeneity of variances and the Student's t-test to compare the results. It was concluded that the didactic sequences supported by GeoGebra software significantly improved the academic performance of the students in the experimental group. In order to analyze motivation, we tabulated and analyzed the results.
