Aprendizaje de Derive a través de tutoriales. Tutoriales desde la Matemática

Abstract

Abstract The information and communication technology in the teaching process are a necessity instead of a novelty. In Mathematics are used software called “mathematical assistants”. From the educational point of view, some of them are used as teaching means. Traditionally, they are introduced from the specific matters, being aided of user manuals and of examples developed in classes. In the previous way, it have been detected that exists low levels of learning, the students are not able to conclude tasks and the “assistants” are only use when it was indicated. Due to this, the current work has as objective to apply tutorials of Derive to contribute their learning from the own curriculum subject “Recursos informáticos para el aprendizaje de la Matemática”, achieving a bigger level and independence in this learning. Using a qualitative methodology, by theoretical and empiric methods to identify and to characterize the problem, the applied proposal achieves better results. The tutorials contain mathematical tasks, they are explicit, force to an entirely digital work, motivate the independent study and achieve bigger acting levels.
