Propuesta para trabajar las TIC en matemáticas en Educación Secundaria

Abstract

As teachers of mathematics one of the challenges that we have is how we can increase students’ interest and engagement in classroom. The new curriculum of the baccalaureate is presented as the set ofskills that students have to acquire when they finish this period. Two important skills when teachingmathematics are the procedural skills and the conceptual understanding. In addition to these skills, students have to develop also the computational skills. Sometimes this skill is not too much developed inclassrooms because of the pressure of covering the whole curriculum or because the university entranceexam does not include any exercise related to it. It has been one of the aims of the new curriculum theintegration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in classrooms in order to studentscarry out their ICT capabilities, but this objective is not very developed in the curriculum. This meansthat teachers have to analyze it and put it in practice in the way they estimate more convenient. Apartfrom being a motivating tool, ICT tools are an instrument of experimentation that allow doing manycalculations efficiently. In this work we analyze how computational tools can be introduced in the subject Mathematics II of the second course of the baccalaureate. The assessment criteria of the subject havebeen studied and actions in which ICT tools are used have been presented
