TIC in the teaching of the first order differential equations

Abstract

This research has been proposed to evaluate the relationships between the elements involved in the learning process of first order differential equations before and after the incorporation of technological tools of helping a descriptive study design where the importance of technology in the classroom is determined and how this can generate a change of attitude in students continues. The sample consisted of 40 students aged between 18-23 years. The collection instrument for information consisted of an attitude scale was applied at the beginning and end of the experiment results show that the use of the TIC as a mediator instrument produces a change of positive and favorable attitudes towards applications of differential equations of first order to support the acquisition of knowledge, achieving stimulate students' creativity and contributing to the design of new methodological strategies in the field of Higher Education.
