El método Singapur como estrategia didáctica para el desarrollo del pensamiento lógico matemático en los estudiantes del grado transición de la Institución Educativa Juan Pablo I.

Abstract

The objective of this research project was to implement the Singapore method for the development of mathematical logical thinking in transition grade students of the Juan Pablo I Educational Institution through the implementation of a didactic proposal based on the Singapore method. It was based on the theoretical contributions of Jerome Brunner and his CPA (concrete-pictorial-abstract) approach to acquire a complete conceptual knowledge in the teaching process; in addition to taking into account authors who work on the concept, such as Zoltan Dienes, Richard Skemp, George Pólya, among others. It was possible to design a didactic proposal entitled "Robotinos" with activities involving spatial relationship, measurement of objects, sequences, numbers and geometric thinking. The research methodology was of qualitative approach with an action-research method, establishing observation and field diary as technique and instrument of data collection respectively. The key informants of the research are 25 students of the transition grade of the Juan Pablo Primero Educational Institution. As a conclusion, it was advanced to demonstrate the importance of developing mathematical logical thinking in transition children from the use of manipulative and visual materials to achieve the understanding of abstract concepts, thus verifying that the dynamics established by the Singapore method from the CPA approach is feasible to use in initial education.
