Description
Summary:he research followed a quantitative approach with the support of qualitative, descriptive, semi-experimental design. The objectives of this research were: to study if competences in variation and didactic thinking of the students improve when taking a pre-calculus course using virtual platform compared to traditional teaching; examine the influence on beliefs about mathematics and its teaching; as well as to analyze which typology of students obtains better results in relation to their level of digital competence. The following conclusions have been drawn: the experimental group has achieved a statistically significant improvement of its interpretive and variation thinking skills compared to the control group; beliefs about mathematics improve in both groups from post-test to pretest, but it cannot be attributed to the use of Web tools.
