El software GeoGebra como recurso didáctico para la enseñanza de la función exponencial y logarítmica

Abstract

This research study is based on the methodological proposed structure in academic sequences with the support of GeoGebra, an education software aimed at learning exponential logarithmic functions for First Baccalaureate students from "Santisimos Corazones" High School from the city of Pasaje, Ecuador. This methodological proposal is based on the need of achieving a meaningful learning outcome according to the Constructivism theory and the provisions stated by the Ministry of Education curricular quality standards updated since the year 2017. This study combines technology by using GeoGebra that is a learning math software which order through a series of learning activities called pedagogic sequencing. According to the theoretical framework established by the Ministry of Education, these pedagogic sequences were designed to promote a meaningful learning. This study is based on a quantitative approach with a descriptive focus, the instrument to collect data was a survey, which served to identify exponential and logarithmic learning issues. Finally, the pedagogic sequence is defined in detail from the easiest contents, step by step, towards the most complex ones, by providing a sense of autonomy when learning mathematics. Each sequence is developed using a four-phase sequence where each one is focused on promoting and nurturing precision and effort when using the observed mathematical concepts. It is important to emphasize that the whole learning process when studying mathematics and other sciences is an individual one, which relies on dedication and continuous effort. This study is an invitation to discover how mathematics can be applied in everyone's lives.
