Effects of the use of mobile devices and Geogebra on the learning of university students

Following the pandemic, Chilean univer-sities have received a generation of stu-dents from a virtual academic world who demand the articulation of their lesson through a combination of active method-ologies and the use of technology, offering teachers the opportunity to apply different teaching strategies. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of the use of mobile devices together with the Geo-gebra software on the learning of 79 first-year Engineering students at the Universi-dad Cat & oacute;lica del Norte. This approach was implemented as an alternative work strat-egy to support teachers and students. The study is quantitative and descriptive-corre-lational. Data were gathered by means of a questionnaire designed ad hoc and vali-dated through a structural equation model. The questionnaire was applied during two consecutive periods and descriptive and factorial analyses were performed. The main results show a high motivation with the use of these technological resources in the classroom and an increase in the ac-ademic performance of the students. This shows the usefulness and versatility at-tached to the interactive way of teaching tested in this study which can be applied across different levels and mathematics courses.
