PROPUESTA METODOLÓGICA SOBRE CÓMO APRENDER CONCEPTOS ALGEBRAICOS: EGRESADOS DE SECUNDARIA

Abstract

The State of knowledge and skills of the graduates of secondary level in the course of Mathematics, including Algebra, seems to be weak or poor, according to test ENLACE, exam CENEVAL and test PISA, that are described and analyzed in this work. The results of these three instruments are presented through graphs and tables. To remedy this situation, prior to entering to the Higher Middle Level education (high school), declared as mandatory, it is proposed a series of activities based on different theories of learning (Piaget, Ausubel, Vygotsky), individual psychological differences and Mathematics in the context. It presents a methodological proposal for reinforcement of the concepts of the Elementary Algebra, for the purpose of that graduates of secondary level may to cover these concepts and apply them to new knowledge required in higher medium level (high school). Finally it is exposed the methodological proposal, with an example and according to the theories of learning (Ausubel, Piaget, Vygotsky), individual psychological differences and mathematics in the context, in order to make clear it. It becomes the clarification that this study is not a course of regularization, so it does not expose a specific agenda.
