| Deskribapena: | The main objective of this research is to strengthen the understanding of the definition of the derivative of a function, emphasizing the geometric interpretation as a teaching strategy among high school students at Colegio San Francisco de Asís, in the Dominican Republic. A quantitative methodology was employed to compare two methods using a quasi-experimental design. A sample of 21 students was divided into two groups: Control Group A and Experimental Group B, assigned non-randomly. The difference in the mean scores between the two groups was significantly higher in favor of Group B. The strategy implemented for Group A received a negative evaluation. In contrast, Group B received a positive evaluation across all aspects, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. It is recommended to begin with the geometric interpretation when teaching the derivative of a function. |
