Impacto del Aprendizaje Cooperativo en el rendimiento académico de estudiantes de Educación General Básica en la resolución de ecuaciones de primer grado

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes the impact of cooperative learning on the academic performance of General Basic Education students in solving first-degree equations. The teaching of mathematics, especially the solving of equations, presents persistent challenges. This study focuses on how cooperative learning strategies can improve the understanding and application of mathematical concepts. Using a quantitative approach and quasi-experimental design, two groups of students were compared: one control and one experimental, to evaluate the effect of the intervention. The results highlight significant improvements in the academic performance and social skills of students who participated in cooperative learning. The main finding indicates that students who participated in cooperative learning activities not only improved their grades in solving first-degree equations, but also developed greater confidence in their mathematical skills and a more positive attitude toward learning.
