Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the GeoGebra program in the learning of mathematics in engineering students. The main objective was to determine whether the use of GeoGebra as a support tool in the teaching of mathematical concepts improves the academic performance and conceptual understanding of engineering students. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental research design was implemented with two groups of students: one that used GeoGebra and one that did not. A pretest and a posttest were applied to measure the level of mathematical knowledge of both groups. The results showed that the group that used GeoGebra obtained significantly higher scores on the posttest, suggesting an improvement in their academic performance. Students who used GeoGebra demonstrated a greater conceptual understanding of mathematical topics, evidencing the usefulness of the tool for visualization and experimentation. To delve deeper into the topic, comprehensive scientific research was conducted, which included a descriptive and systematic review of studies published in indexed journals from 2019 to date. The selection of these studies was carried out through renowned search platforms, such as Scopus, SciElo, Redalyc, ProQuest, Latindex, among other recognized databases. In conclusion, the study concludes that the use of GeoGebra as support software in the teaching and learning of mathematics in engineering students contributes to improve their academic performance and conceptual understanding.
