Abstract

The application of electronic module “ Geometry ” through the free software GeoGebra and its influence on the academic performance of students in eighth year of basic education in “ Interandina ” school of Guabug community in San Juan Parish , Riobamba Canton , is an investigation conducted in the educational field thought the need to innovate the teaching work under the technological process that exists in the knowledge society and one of the areas that most needs support is mathematics especially in the area of geometry because of traditionally has been classified as a science in which students have learning difficulties since it was conceptualized as accurate and rigid when in fact the mathematical processes are defined by the skills of students and in such virtue must be appraised and valued only thus can be a real learning, in this research it was proposed as main objective “Applying ICTs” in the teaching – learning process by designing resources for development of skills understanding of concepts, process knowledge and problem solving with students of basic education. A process of bibliographic research and field collecting scientific information most important about the variables involved in the study was applied as well as the application of surveys with a sample of more than 50 data, using the normality test as p-value<α5% observing the sample is not distributed to the 95% confidence level and where we use Wilcoxon p-value = 1,767e-10 being less than α, so the alternative hypothesis H1 is chosen, concluding that the tools web 2.0 are an alternative high road to optimize processes of teaching, learning and strengthen the teaching of geometry, it is recommended that teachers increase their knowledge in technology so that teaching practices with respect to geometry, will create the potential for the consecution of concepts comprehension skills knowledge and problem solving processes.
