Abstract
El propósito de este estudio fue determinar la influencia del software especializado en la enseñanza de ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias de la asignatura Cálculo Multivariable a estudiantes de tercer semestre de la carrera de Ingeniería de Sistemas y Computación de la UNDAC. Para ello, se empleó el software educativo profesional Matlab R2019a para mejorar el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje.
Se basó en la aplicación del caso de estudio: “Liberación de oxígeno de la planta orgánica Sansevierias, para reducir la policitemia1 en el invernadero-Cerro de Pasco, el cual sirvió como estrategia de enseñanza para obtener el modelo matemático de dicho caso, llegando a su formulación y solución usando el software mencionado. Por otro lado, al inicio y final del estudio se aplicó una encuesta a 25 alumnos con diez preguntas, las cuales recopiló evidencias sobre el aprendizaje de conceptos matemáticos, comprensión de fenómenos físicos y la aplicación de técnicas de modelación matemática, permitió evaluar las conexiones paralelas, manejo de software y aplicaciones de hardware. Se observaron mejoras significativas en la comprensión del proceso de resolución de ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias. Al inicio del estudio se encontró que, el 80% de los estudiantes no sabía utilizar un software educativo Matlab; pero luego de utilizar esta herramienta esta proporción bajó al 72%. Además, la proporción de personas, que informaron tener un conocimiento completo aumentó el 12%. Después de aplicar la prueba estadística de Wilcoxon con un nivel de confianza del 95%, se concluyó que hubo un aumento en la mejora del aprendizaje, en comparación con un p de 0,043, (puntación inferior a 0,05). En definitiva, el uso adecuado de este software educativo Matlab permitió mejorar habilidades en programación, resolución de problemas y modelado de problemas del mundo real.
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the specialized educational software Matlab on the teaching of ordinary differential equations of the Multivariable Calculus subject to third semester students of the Systems and Computing Engineering degree at UNDAC. For this, the professional educational software Matlab R2019a was used to improve the teaching-learning process. It was based on the application of the case study: “Oxygen release from the organic plant Sansevierias, to reduce polycythemia in the greenhouse-Cerro de Pasco, which served as a teaching strategy to obtain the mathematical model of said case, arriving at its formulation and solution using the mentioned software. On the other hand, at the beginning and end of the study, a survey was applied to 25 students with ten questions, which collected evidence on the learning of mathematical concepts, understanding of physical phenomena and the application of mathematical modeling techniques, allowing the evaluation of parallel connections, software management and hardware applications. Significant improvements were observed in the understanding of the process of solving ordinary differential equations. At the beginning of the study, it was found that 80% of the students did not know how to use Matlab educational software; but after using this tool this proportion dropped to 72%. Additionally, the proportion of people reporting complete knowledge increased by 12%. After applying the Wilcoxon statistical test with a confidence level of 95%, it was concluded that there was an increase in learning improvement, compared to a p of 0.043, (score less than 0.05). In short, the proper use of this Matlab educational software allowed us to improve skills in programming, problem solving, and modeling real-world problems.
