- Abstract
The main objective of this research study is to evaluate an educational strategy specifically designed as an action plan for the topic of related variation rates in the differential calculus on-learning unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology is based on a qualitative paradigm with constructivist epistemology and on a semiotic focus on teaching and learning mathematics. Videoconferences, teaching sequences, and problems are used. The results show a significant improvement of students in their abilities related to mathematical language and conceptual applications of differential calculus, mainly in the concepts of variation rates and algebraic manipulation. Improvements are also observed in the transfer of semiotic records, independent of the concept of their representations. It is concluded that teaching and learning by using didactic strategies supported with GeoGebra, allow students to conduct research and improve their abstract capacity, their lateral thinking, and their persistence by integrating thinking abilities and conceptual comprehension.
