Learning differential equations continues to be a challenge for engineering students, especially when it comes to solving homogeneous equations, which often generate difficulties in their understanding. This study is framed within a qualitative approach and corresponds to a case study conducted during the first semester of 2024 with students from the University of Sinú, Colombia. The main objective was to explore the analysis of the solution of a homogeneous reducible differential equation using GeoGebra, with the purpose of identifying perceptions, advantages, and limitations that emerge from its application in the classroom. The research was carried out with an initial group of 16 students from the differential equations course, of which four were selected to participate in semi-structured interviews. The results show that students positively value the use of GeoGebra, highlighting its speed, accuracy, and ability to graphically represent solutions, which favours comprehension. However, they also pointed out limitations such as the absence of a step-by-step procedure and difficulties in use from mobile devices. In conclusion, GeoGebra is presented as a relevant teaching resource to enrich learning, provided it is complemented with strategies that reinforce mathematical reasoning.
