Uso didáctico de PowerPoint en la enseñanza de las matemáticas en educación básica superior de la Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional Cinco de Mayo.

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to raise awareness among teachers so that they implement the PowerPoint program as a didactic resource for the teaching of mathematics in the students of the Fiscomisional Educational Unit "Cinco de Mayo". This program is a very useful didactic tool in the educational sector, it gives teachers an opportunity to project the contents in a more dynamic and motivating way, making use of images, videos, audios, concept maps, to present the planned topics with in order to make the teaching process more dynamic and pedagogical. In the same way, PowerPoint allows the generation or preparation of materials that involve the student in an environment of analysis and reflection, allowing them to build their own learning, which is what teachers seek, that is, for the student to be an active being. PowerPoint as a didactic resource helps to generate learning spaces to motivate, facilitate the understanding and autonomy of students to develop mathematical thinking, to develop skills, knowledge and attitudes that allow students to solve problems. This investigative work has a qualitative - quantitative approach with a non-experimental design, it is of a correlational and bibliographic type. The instruments to be applied were the survey and an observation sheet for both variables. The population is made up of 77 tenth-year students and the sample was made up of 37 tenth-year parallel “A” students from the “Cinco de Mayo” Fiscalisional Educational Unit. The results obtained from this research through the applied instruments indicate that it is important that the teacher carry out his classes and activities with the didactic use of PowerPoint, since it facilitates the understanding of the themes and the development of mathematical thinking, generating significant learning in the students. students. In conclusion, the didactic use of PowerPoint is a fundamental pillar and the way to reach students with knowledge, which is why the teacher must know and be constantly prepared regarding the implementation of PowerPoint..
