Sorobán como estrategia de aprendizaje en las operaciones básicas de las matemáticas.

Abstract

The present study was carried out by the intention of promoting the Sóroban as learning strategy in the basic operations of the mathematics in children of the first degree of the College Comfanorte of the Municipality of the Courts, North of Santander. This investigation I rest in the works (Alsina, 2006), (Purple, 2012), (Cartwright, 1996), (Chamot, 2013), (Perez Cameselle, 2004), between others. The present studied it is seated under the positivist philosophy, methodologically it developed as a descriptive investigation of type, with a not experimental transactional design of field. The population was represented by the college Comfanorte of the Municipality of the Courts, North of Santander, the sample in study was constituted by 3 teachers and 30 students of the first degree of the College Comfanorte. For the compilation of the information, there applied two instruments to himself with closed questions of simple selection, constituted by twenty-seven (27) articles, which was validated by the judgment of 3 experts, and his reliability measured up applying the coefficient Alpha Cronbach, which was of (0.92). The gathered information was tabulated and codified manually, applying the criteria of the descriptive statistics allowing this way the analysis and discussion for dimensions and indicators. One concludes that the subjects submitted to study are categorized in nothing developed, they affirm not to know the usefulness of the Sóroban as learning strategy and the easy thing that would turn the learning of the mathematics since thanks to this instrument the mathematics will turn into something physical that can be manipulated.
