Ambiente de aprendizaje enfocado a la multiplicación de números naturales para cuarto grado EGB en la Unidad Educativa “Luis Cordero”

Abstract

The present research is about the multiplication teaching of the natural numbers through the application of learning environment, applied in students of fourth grade of Basic General Education, the objective guide is propose a learning environment whit manipulative materials to support the teaching-learning process the multiplication of natural numbers, the specific objectives used are design, application and evaluation of an innovative learning proposal. The methodology used is qualitative with exploratory scope, allowing the collection and analysis of data after the implementation of proposal for pedagogical innovation, for this process they were used process like diagnostic test, field diary, and interviews, focused on the monitoring of learning results after the application of the proposal through an action research process. As results of the research, it was learned that the application of a learning environment focused on multiplication, promotes an improvement in student learning, helping the development of skills and abilities necessary to understand the notion of multiplication and improve the resolution of exercises, it is concluded that using a learning environment motivates students, arouses their interest, creativity and predisposition to learn, in addition the use of manipulative teaching materials allow a better understanding of the multiplication algorithm starting from specific situations which allow compression of abstract mathematical concepts.
