Desarrollo de habilidades geométricas con GeoGebra: el aprendizaje de los polígonos regulares en EGB.

Abstract

This research work reflects on the learning of geometry in the subject of regular polygons, using the GeoGebra program to develop geometric skills with students in the seventh year of general basic education. The study is part of the sociocritical paradigm with a qualitative approach, which is articulated with the action research method, in which techniques such as interviews, participant observation, and focus groups are applied. The information collected contributed to identifying the level of knowledge of the students, the perception of the teacher and the students in relation to the learning of geometry through the use of GeoGebra, as well as how the students construct their knowledge with the challenges implied by the use of this computer program. Among the main results, the use of GeoGebra increased students' motivation, streamlining learning and enhancing the effective and dynamic understanding of regular polygons.
