COMPUTER TOOLS FOR TEACHING MATHEMATICS

Abstract

The modern world faces the paradigms of traditional teaching-learning in contrast to new technologies, which, in addition to the attention of young people and adults, covers almost all branches of science and academia. In this paper we propose the analysis of computer tools for the development of didactic strategies for the teaching of mathematics, an area of study that has historically generated great difficulties in the student sector, From a constructivist perspective and applying the qualitative-quantitative method, the information collected is managed through interviews, surveys and observation forms; those applied to 52 first-level PUCESE students, two teachers in the area and one manager; lead to the analysis and generation of results that show that in the educational environment in question, a traditional teaching-learning style is maintained, which is not necessarily mediated with educational technological tools, but also reflects the interest of students to integrate educational software and simulations, such as support resources, for math classes. Based on the results, free educational software Exe-Learning is proposed and it is demonstrated, through statistical analysis, that this resource strengthens the teaching-learning process of mathematics.
