Abstract
Nowadays virtual environments are forcing us to live very closely with technology, computers and information networks. Thus, the present study analyzes the students’ perception to learning process of financial mathematics mediated by ICT in the “Tec Milenio” University at “Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Veracruz”. 85 questionnaires were applied to engineering undergraduate student. The survey used was EAPHMF (APTFMS) scale of García and Edel (2008). In order to measure data, the statistical procedure was the factor analysis by principal component extraction and chi-square test statistic (X2) and the Bartlett’s test of sphericity, KMO (Kaiser-Meyer, Olkin) and MSA (measure sample adequacy). The results suggest the rejection of Ho, which means that, the variables: HMCTT, PHC, DSF, PI and CV helps to understand the students’ perception towards the teaching process mediated by ICT.
