Impacto del aprendizaje basado en proyectos para el desarrollo de habilidades en la resolución de problemas en el cálculo de áreas y perímetros en estudiantes de Educación General Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis analyzes the impact of Project-Based Learning (PBL) on the development of problem-solving skills related to calculating areas and perimeters in students in basic general education. The objective is to improve mathematics teaching strategies, promoting meaningful, lasting, and applicable learning that allows students to connect this knowledge to their everyday and social environment. Two groups were selected for the study: parallel group "A," which served as the control group, and parallel group "B," which served as the experimental group. Each group consisted of 30 students, including both men and women. For the research process, a pre-test was conducted to establish the level of prior knowledge, and a post-test was used to determine a point of comparison, assessing the level acquired through PBL and traditional education. The results indicate that the experimental group performed better in solving problems related to areas and perimeters, as evidenced by a higher score on the post-test. This demonstrates that Project-Based Learning (PBL) significantly contributes to more lasting and effective learning.
