Abstract

Abstract: The present investigation was carried out under a positivist research paradigm using a quantitative approach with a descriptive scope, developed with a field investigation, since it was developed in the classroom, the main objective was to analyze the conceptual understanding of functions in second-year high school students of the Unidad Educativa 19 de Agosto, after implementing collaborative work. The study variables were defined as collaborative work and conceptual understanding. For the collaborative work variable, different didactic strategies were applied within the classroom, while for the conceptual understanding variable, Hitt's levels of understanding and Hake's normalized gain indicator were used. When analyzing these variables once the collaborative work was developed, it was possible to show that the students did manage to improve their grades in the post-test evaluation and the majority were able to locate the fifth level of understanding according to Hitt; while with respect to the index, the normalized profit was obtained at a low level. Collaborative work does directly influence the ability to understand the issues raised in the research.
