Mobile App: A Boost in Math Learning Motivation

This paper presents a study analyzing the impact of the mobile application Aplic Triang to help high school students learn the topic "Application of Right Triangles." This work eliminated the impact of the teacher's experience to present evidence that the didactic strategy using the mobile app made a difference in student performance. Students used the application to solve exercises, working in pairs in only one class session. Then, 11 days after the practice session, an exam was applied whose results were analyzed. We conducted a one-way Anova test comparing students' average time solving two exam exercises, analyzing the experimental and two control groups, and finding a significant statistical difference between their means. The experimental group and the first control group were taught by the same teacher, while another taught the second control group. The statistical test results suggest that using the strategy that included the mobile app helped students consolidate their knowledge of the topic, regardless of the teacher. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023.
