tailieunhanh - The use of educational platforms as teaching resource in mathematics

This paper discusses how academic virtual counseling might be a tool to help students in math class. The methodological approach is based in the non-experimental, longitudinal model evolution and in the designs of evolutionary group analysis, we stated the possibility to generalize the results of the use of technological resources in the teaching of mathematics in order to find out if it is possible to improve the levels of students at a school in upper level education. | Journal of Technology and Science Education JOTSE, 2018 – 8(1): 63-71 – Online ISSN: 2013-6374 – Print ISSN: 2014-5349 THE USE OF EDUCATIONAL PLATFORMS AS TEACHING RESOURCE IN MATHEMATICS Marcela Gómez-Zermeño1 1 2 , Héctor Franco-Gutiérrez2 Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico) Fondo Nacional para el Fomento de las Artesanías (FONART) (México) , A01314400@ Received October 2017 Accepted February 2018 Abstract Dropping out from the school system at High School level has been a problem for several years; high levels of mathematics’ failing have been a recurring situation. This paper discusses how academic virtual counseling might be a tool to help students in math class. The methodological approach is based in the non-experimental, longitudinal model evolution and in the designs of evolutionary group analysis, we stated the possibility to generalize the results of the use of technological resources in the teaching of mathematics in order to find out if it is possible to improve the levels of students at a school in upper level education. According to this research, the use of educational platforms as a resource for the subject of mathematics represents not only a technological tool for teachers but also offers students the opportunity to view this subject as an academic challenge to overcome.

Introduction Upper secondary education is the level that precedes university studies, with students who are between 14 and 18 years old, age in which adolescents must face complex moments and situations. In this context, increasingly more young people do not finish their studies due to different situations such as family, school, economic problems, and even violence. To drop out means that students withdraw from the courses they are enrolled in, which affects the school’s terminal efficiency. It is an indicator that .
