Incorporating technologies in math teaching. Attitudes of the ninth-grade student and middle education.

Abstract

This research has analyzed the attitudes towards the incorporation of technologies in the teaching of mathematics of students in ninth, tenth and eleventh grade. The research carried out is of a quantitative  nature through an “Ex Post Facto” design where an attitude scale was applied to a sample of !"# students from some educational centers in four departments of Honduras with ages between !$ and %& years. The
results obtained indicate that, in a large majority, students have positive attitudes towards the use of technology in learning mathematics regardless of age and the type of technological device through which they access them. It is concluded that the incorporation of technology in the teaching of mathematics is positive for students, because a large part of them show satisfaction in solving computerized exams with immediate scoring and making use of technology as support material.
