Aplicación del Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP) en la construcción del conocimiento matemático en estudiantes del Instituto Superior Tecnológico Limón

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of the Project-Based Learning methodology on the construction of mathematical knowledge in students of theInstituto Superior Tecnológico Limón by posing problem situations in such a way that their mathematical skills were developed. To reach the stated objective, a synthesis of the theoretical foundations on the variables under study was carried out: Project-Based Learning as an active methodology in the teaching-learning process and the construction of mathematical knowledge through the development of mathematical skills and levels understanding required to solve the problems raised. The methodological designstarted from the positivist perspective with a mixed-cut investigative approach with quantitative preponderance, correlational descriptive scope and quasi-experimental design. The participating population was 23 students in the fourth semester of the Software Development career of the institution. The data collection was carried out in two moments through two initial and two final tests. The analysis of the results showed that the use of the Project-Based Learning methodology favors the construction of mathematical knowledge.
