La música como estrategia para el fortalecimiento de las competencias geométricas en el grado noveno de la Institución Educativa Colegio Artístico Rafael Contreras Navarro.

Abstract

The present study aims to develop geometric skills through the use of music for the optimization of academic performance in the ninth grade of the Rafael Contreras Artistic College. Theoretically based on the Theory of Fishbein Figurative Concepts, in Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, the ProjectBased

Learning Method (ABP), and on neuroscientific postulates that allowed establishing the necessary evidence to recognize the studied phenomenon and thus achieve the motivation of the students to achieve meaningful learning. Methodologically it was framed in a qualitative, action-research approach. The population or participants (according to the approach) were the students of the ninth grade of the Rafael Contreras Navarro Artistic College (2019). The results showed that students show a rejection for geometry, despite the fact that teachers develop content related to the knowledge of figures and symbols, and find that the main advantage is the development of geometric thinking, which allows them the resolution of problems from the vision of space in its dimensions, therefore, these advantages are considerable and must be assumed so that in the mathematics class, positive results in learning are achieved. Likewise, the development of the study allowed to demonstrate the importance of the integration of the areas (music and mathematics) to achieve better results in the teaching and learning processes. This work constitutes the contributions of the students themselves, who require motivating strategies to increase their academic performance in areas such as mathematics. In the same way, the degree work is consolidated as a sustenance both to the teachers of mathematics, as to those of musical education, evidencing that through a shared work students' learning is favored and better results are achieved.
