A Case Study on Exploring YOU Artificial Intelligence and GeoGebra in Learning the Method of Variation of Parameters in Second-Order Differential Equations | Chapter 3 | Mathematics and Computer Science: Research Updates Vol. 8

 

The study presents an innovative experience carried out with engineering students at the University of Antofagasta, Chile, during the first semester of 2023.

 

The main objective was to analyse how students describe their learning of the method of variation of parameters when solving a certain second-order linear differential equation, using a combination of the YOU artificial intelligence tool and GeoGebra software.

 

The research was conducted using a qualitative case study approach, which allowed for an exploration of the perceptions of three students as they used these digital tools. The results show that the integration of both technologies fostered reflection and autonomy in learning. The students evaluated the experience positively, emphasising that these tools do not replace reasoning, but rather enhance it.

 

In conclusion, the constructivist nature of this type of activity is highlighted, where knowledge is actively built through the interaction between the student and digital technologies. Additionally, YOU supported symbolic reasoning and computation, while GeoGebra provided a visual understanding of the process, turning the resolution of differential equations into a collaborative and participatory experience.
