Abstract

The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of the teaching of area calculation through the use of Double Integrals using GeoGebra in students enrolled in the course of Geometric and Trigonometric Analysis within the Master's Degree in Education, mention in Mathematics Teaching, at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. From this perspective, the research approach was framed in the positivist paradigm and adopted a quantitative approach of descriptive correlational character. The sample was selected from a population of 70 students, who were distributed in two groups, 35 students for the experimental group and 35 for the control group. A study sequence was implemented with the purpose of applying a dynamic geometric representation of the concept of Double Integral through the parameterization of curves and surfaces in GeoGebra, which allowed geometric visualization and calculation of generated areas. As a result, a significant improvement was observed in the geometric understanding of the Double Integral by the students with respect to the calculation of areas in flat regions.
