Aplicación del aprendizaje colaborativo como herramienta de enseñanza -aprendizaje de matrices en alumnos de bachillerato del Colegio Juan Montalvo .

Abstract

Abstract: The present research work sought to determine how collaborative work, as a methodology for teaching mathematical matrices, could improve the academic performance of third year high school students, with the aim of helping their formative process. With a quantitative experimental study, we worked with two groups: a control group (48 students from two parallels) and an experimental group (50 students from two parallels). A questionnaire was applied that considered three blocks of questions (conceptual, identification and problem solving) and the performance of two groups, one control and the other experimental, was measured. The results analyzed with Excel and SPSS showed that the collaborative work methodology ostensibly improves student learning by almost two points, on average, highlighting the effectiveness for problem solving. In addition, the significant contribution it makes to improving classroom climate and interpersonal relations is notorious. With this, we can assure that it is imperative to give wayto agile work methods, such as collaborative work, in subjects such as Mathematics, given its complexity.
