Educational software as a didactic strategy in mathematics

Abstract

Information and communication technology is an essential means in the improvement of educational practices. The objective of this study was to make a summary on the use of GeoGebra software as a didactic strategy in mathematics of high school students. The Google Scholar and Scopus databases published in the last five years are used. A total sample of 21 scientific articles was obtained. To extract the information in the review, the following procedure was followed: Authorship and year of publication, methodological study design, study variables and conclusions. As the main result, it has been observed the need to implement didactic software so that it can contribute to the improvement of academic performance in mathematics. It is concluded that the use of Geogebra software as a didactic resource allows the improvement of learning in mathematics of secondary school students. It is recommended to use educational software in learning sessions for students to achieve meaningful learning in mathematics.
