Análisis de la efectividad del aprendizaje basado en Problemas en la Alfabetización Numérica de los estudiantes del grado primero sede “F” ye de la Torre, de la Institución Educativa San Fernando.

Abstract

Through this research work, we sought to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) strategy for the development of numerical literacy in students of basic primary education. To meet this objective, a didactic strategy based in the strategy was designed and implemented in accordance with the theory of George Pólya (1965) and the effectiveness of said implementation was evaluated. The research approach is qualitative; the methodological strategy is action research, designed in three phases: diagnosis, deconstruction and reconstruction. The data collection techniques that were implemented are participant observation, interview and content analysis; through the data matrix, interview script and field diary, respectively. The results led to the conclusion that the strategy is pertinent in the context that was implemented, since the development of numerical literacy in students was evidenced, learning was favored by taking advantage of autonomy, and creativity, in addition, by student was facilitated to work collaboratively in the construction of learning. The conclusions derived from the process indicate that skills for the development of mathematical competencies, such as mathematical thought processes, could beenhanced. And they led to think about the need to restructure the mathematics curricula at the basic primary education level in Colombia, particularly integrating learning strategies that favor the development of numerical literacy, and to exhort the teacher towards the need to rethink their practice according to the new needs that arise in each context, in such a way that they respond to the interests of individuals in training.
