Abstract

The objective is to evaluate the effect of the Geometry of the Turtle of the programming language Scratch 2 in the learning of geometric concepts of future Primary teachers. A quasi-experimental study has been carried out in the Faculty of Education of the Complutense University of Madrid. Descriptive, differential and correlational analyzes have been carried out on academic performance and student satisfaction with a Scratch 2 methodology and, in addition, cluster analysis to identify student typologies. The results show that the students who have followed this methodology have significantly higher levels in geometry. Three types of students have been identified, being related to their mathematical performance and their attitude towards the methodology. Thus, this methodology favors the development of geometric skills in future Primary teachers.
