Resumen

This study evaluated the impact of GeoGebra software in the teaching of differential and integral calculus in higher education, analyzing self-regulation, metacognition, meaningfulness, perception of the environment, symbolic language and reasoning. A quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental design with two independent groups (N=60) were used, collecting data through questionnaires and Likert-type scales, analyzed with non-parametric statistics. The results showed significant improvements in metacognition, symbolic language and perception, enhancing mathematical and spatial thinking. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (D=1) indicated a high deviation between groups. The study concludes that GeoGebra is an innovative tool that improves mathematics learning. Future research could explore the use of GeoGebra in various mathematical areas, evaluating its effectiveness along with innovative pedagogical strategies.
