Abstract

This paper presents a didactic proposal designed through the active methodology of Collaborative Learning to analyse the effect of the use of numerical simulation of a mathematical model on the learning of differential equations in engineering students. A mathematical model of a vibrating string was used, and the Octave Online platform was used for the numerical simulation. The analysis and assessment of this proposal was carried out in a hybrid, quantitative and qualitative manner, through the design of observation and measurement instruments. The results indicate that in STEM programs, the use of numerical simulation in a collaborative learning environment strengthens student learning and fosters the development of disciplinary and soft skills.
