Estrategias metodológicas y recursos aplicados a las líneas y gráficas de las funciones trigonométricas para los docentes de la carrera de Matemáticas y Física de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

The present degree work has as an aim to contribute to the improvement of the process of education of the subject Flat and Spherical Trigonometry, specifically in the unit related to Lines and Graphs of Trigonometrical Functions, for the students of the career of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Cuenca, whereupon, it has proposed methodological strategies that serve as support and guide tool for the teacher, along with the production of didactic material for allowing the pupil achieves a significant learning. For the theoretical foundation of this academic proposal, it has realized a bibliographical study based on the theory of Constructivism. Likewise, through the application of surveys to the students and an interview to two teachers of the career, the obtained data has been analyzed; whose information demonstrated the existence of certain failings in the teaching and the degree of difficulty in the learning of the mentioned unit. Consequently, some didactic strategies were proposed for teachers by means of a guided and significant learning; with the elaboration of the concrete material for the construction of the trigonometrical lines; sine, cosine and tangent functions; that pretends to improve the comprehension of the students through the combination of theory and practice.
