Description
Summary:This research's objective was to determine whether the GeoGebra software, as teaching means, influence on the achievement of significant learning of intradisciplinary mathematics for students of multiple subject teaching, specifically in the "quadratic functions" topic. The method was experimental and descriptive, with 126 students as a randomly selected sample of public schools of Lima, Peru. A paired sample t-test was carried out, and the result shows a significant difference between the pretest and posttest applied to students during the 2019 school year. The multivariate method ANOVA explained the influence of sex and level of numeracy skill on the students' performance after the implementation of the teaching through the GeoGebra software. In conclusion, there was significant learning when the students activated and hierarchically classified their schemes of mathematical knowledge in order to propose alternative solutions to different problem's situations. In this sense, the educational environments with digital learning resources show a significant difference in favor of the incorporation of tools such as GeoGebra.
