Strengthening of Geometry Learning Competencies through B-Learning.

Fortalecimiento de las Competencias de Aprendizaje de Geometría mediante B-Learning

One of the frequent weaknesses found in the learning of Colombian high school students occurs in the area of ​​mathematics, including algebra, trigonometric, calculus and geometry. This research seeks to strengthen the acquisition of skills in the area of ​​geometry in the ninth grade, in a school in the city of Popayán (Colombia), with approximately 70 students. Using the dotLRN learning management system (LMS), Geogebra and a framework that integrates this tool into the LMS. The teacher and students are trained to use these ICT services, in such a way that they are involved in the educational process in topics such as: Construction of a polygon, calculation of perimeter and calculation of area.

A case study is proposed where the themes are proposed in two courses, with different educational contexts, 9A supported by b-learning and 9B in a conventional way; at the end academic results are compared.
