Metodología basada en retos para el aprendizaje de funciones lineales y cuadráticas de los estudiantes de décimo grado de Educación General Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This research focuses on the application of the active methodology known as challenge-based learning (CBL) in tenth-grade students of basic general education (EGB) at the Alberto Enríquez School. The research determined a significant improvement in the averages of students in the experimental group compared to the averages of the control group. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis is accepted, which was confirmed by the use of the parametric statistical test (Student t) for independent groups. In addition, the Cronbach's Alpha reliability test was used, determining the questionnaires a very good reliability level. Statistical tests were recorded using the SPSS program. In turn, the development of cognitive skills in students in the fields of logical and abstract reasoning, critical thinking, reflective ability, leadership, collaboration, motivation, strategic decision-making, good communication, participation and presentation of knowledge among peers was demonstrated. This was done through the development of different mathematical challenges proposed in areas of interest by the students, confirming theories of meaningful learning, experiential learning, and the Kolb model.
