El laboratorio computacional matemático, como complemento para promover el aprendizaje del cálculo diferencial

Abstract

This study was developed through a comparative experimental design, using two groups, the first one the experimental group and the second one the control group, having as experimental units the students of the second semester of the career “Ingenieria Acuícola” of the Universidad Technical de Machala of the academic periods D1 and D2 of the school year 2017-2018. The course was taught to the experimental group using the “constructivist method” considering the different learning styles of the students and complementing it with the mathematical computational laboratory practices. With the results it was possible to contrast the hypothesis that the teaching of differential calculus, practiced systematically and complemented with computational tools is able to promote significant learning to its students.
