Estudio descriptivo e interpretativo del pensamiento algebraico en el contexto del software de geometría dinámica

Abstract

Recently, the use of Dynamic Geometric Software (DGS) in different areas to Arithmetic, Geometry, and Calculus is an aspect that has generated greater interest in the research field in Maths education; nevertheless, the mobilization of algebraic thinking through this kind of software is an element which has been little studied. For this reason, this investigation was proposed to analyze the productions of some bachelor’s degrees in Maths students from the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, at the front approach of some construction problems that imply the recognition and the representation of numeric dependences. Some indicators are proposed, they allow to classify the students, based on the theory by Radford and Vergel (2014) about algebraic thinking, and Falcade (2004) about variation and dependences in DGS.
