La resolución de problemas sobre probabilidades como agente motivador de aprendizaje en estudiantes de noveno

Abstract

This innovation project pursued the objective of developing a didactic strategy that contributes to the development of the problem-solving process on probabilities as a motivating agent of learning, in the students of the 9th Basic Education of the Zoila Aurora Palacios Educational Unit. The theoretical method of analysis and synthesis was applied, to decompose the dimensions into indicators and synthesize the motivation towards learning problem solving on probabilities, discovering the relationships between the indicators. The modeling method was used to make a theoretical representation of the fundamental characteristics and relationships of the object of study. The design used Action Research, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies. We worked systematically with the 28 students of the 9th year C, their Mathematics teacher and a group of experienced teachers who contributed to the shaping and improvement of the strategy. The techniques and instruments applied were: participant observation, survey, observation guide, questionnaires, self-report, self-evaluation and evaluation of the strategy. Methodological triangulation of sources and contexts was applied. The organizational and dynamic articulation between the components of the strategy constitutes a fundamental attribute so that it is effective and pertinent in the process of teaching - learning of Mathematics. The assessment made after applying the strategy allowed us to conclude that it is relevant from theory and practice to develop the problem-solving process on probabilities as a learning motivating agent.
