El Design Thinking y la Implementación de Herramientas Tecnológicas para la Enseñanza de las Matemáticas y las Ciencias Experimentales

Abstract

Abstract: Design Thinking is a teaching methodology that has revolutionized education practices, the implementation of technological tools for the teachings of Mathematics and experimental sciences has the main objective to analyze how Design Thinking facilitates the learning of Mathematics to improve critical thinking of the students. The methodology used for this research was synthetic and hermeneutic due to a review being done of different researches about Design Thinking that were done in countries such as Mexico and Colombia, which ad had some success in its application. Techniques such as mind maps were used to gather all the necessary information and tree diagrams were used to order the ideas that were highlighted and to find the results that were explored. Many students were benefited by the application of design thinking, showing improvements in their academic performance and mathematic problem solving. It is clear that the technological tools allow an effective integration in the teachings of mathematics; however, there is more research to be done on design thinking to obtain results related to the Ecuadorian reality.
