Abstract

The objective was to design a learning strategy for the subject content of Conic Sections of the subject matter Geometry II, using the Moodle Virtual Platform at the Faculty of Education, University of Carabobo (FACE-UC). The study was based on Vygotsky’s (1978) social theory. It is framed within the form of a feasible project and a non experimental design. The sample was constituted by 48% of the population. It was used a questionnaire of 20 items to gather data; the instrument validity was determined by expert opinions in the area of Technology and Mathematics. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was applied for
the reliability, which demonstrated the instrument was highly reliable (0.85). Results showed students have learning difficulties. Therefore, it is proposed a feasible learning strategy to integrate Information Technology and Communication (ICT) in the Moodle Virtual Platform (FACE-UC).
