Abstract

Mathematics education has become a global challenge in the 21st century, highlighting the need to adapt new teaching methods to enable the development of various competencies. These competencies include problem-solving in shape, motion, and location. This involves getting students to apply geometric concepts in two or three dimensions, including measurements and descriptions of trajectories. This article aims to determine whether the proposed incorporation of GeoGebra software into junior high school mathematics education contributes to achieving this competency. This work had a qualitative approach, an exploratory level, a basic type, and a phenomenological design. The research was conducted using an interview guide with thirteen junior high school teachers in the province of Lambayeque, teaching the subject of mathematics. The main result was that when using GeoGebra software in teaching mathematics, junior high school students in Lambayeque developed this competency. This leads to the conclusion that there is a need to make the technological tool GeoGebra mandatory in schools in this region.
