Incidencia del método de George Pólya en el desarrollo de la competencia de resolución de problemas matemáticos con estructuras multiplicativas en los estudiantes de cuarto primaria del Colegio Técnico Vicente Azuero, Sede de Floridablanca.

Abstract

The research work sought to analyze the incidence of the application of George Pólya's method in the development of mathematical problem solving competence with multiplicative structures in fourth grade students; To achieve this objective, the following was developed: a) A Diagnosis of the students' prior knowledge about problem solving and Pólya's method, b) A didactic strategy based on George Pólya's method with its steps and factors was designed and applied, and c) ) The effectiveness of George Pólya's method in solving problems with multiplicative structures was evaluated. The research approach was qualitative with a Research-Action design. The phases were used: Preoperative, field work, analytical and informative, interview and observation techniques, to collect the data and instruments, interview script, field notes and data matrix to carry out the analyzes with the method of the grounded theory, whose results were: strengthening of the competence to solve mathematical problems with multiplicative structures; a greater analysis and planning of the process carried out to obtain a solution to the problems raised, the students understood and felt more confident in carrying out the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations and the support of the parents was evidenced. In addition to the above, there is the proposal for the teaching staff of the institution, to innovate curricular strategies and implement information and communication technologies for daily classes.
