Abstract

Abstract: The present work entitled "Application of the Project-Based Learning methodology in the academic performance of the Mathematics subject of the ninth-grade students of General Basic Education of the "Republic of Ecuador" Educational Unit", set as a general objective to determine the relationship between Project-Based Learning and the academic performance of the Mathematics subject of the ninth-grade students. To this end, I implemented a quantitative approach as a methodology, using the survey technique, and the instrument applied was the questionnaire, which has a set of closed questions related to the study topic, which allows measuring dimensions and indicators referring to the independent variable and dependent variable. The questionnaire was applied to 9 teachers and 76 students of Higher General Basic Education. The conclusion reached was that Project-Based Learning (PBL) in the educational process has proven to be an effective strategy to improve the academic performance of students, as PBL encourages the active participation of students, allowing them to apply the concepts learned and develop skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and effective communication.
