El aprendizaje basado en proyectos y su aplicación didáctica en la enseñanza de las medidas de localización a nível básico

Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, there have been many difficulties in the teaching of mathematics, due to different didactic factors that directly affect the academic performance of students, hence the need to seek innovative teaching-learning practices that place the student in the centre of the educational process. Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an active methodology that facilitates teacher-student interaction and enables the achievement of meaningful learning. This work describes a quantitative research of an exploratory-descriptive type, because it allows to characterize the PBL as it is presented in the reality investigated, research instruments were applied: pre-test, post-test and surveys designed for the effect, which facilitated the information analysis. The results of this research indicate a considerable difference in the averages of the students, before and after the application of the PBL, demonstrating that this methodology influences the learning of the students. As a final conclusion we can say that the PBL positively affects the academic performance of students because it achieves significant learning, being applicable in any area of study and diversity of content.
