Methodological strategies used in the learning of mathematics in the 8th year of EGB

Abstract

This research is based on the use of learning strategies that allow you to improve the academic performance of students in the 8th year of Basic Education in the Mathematics course. For a long time, the study of mathematics has been presented as a complicated and tedious activity that prevents the inter-learning of students, causing poor academic performance. For this reason, it was necessary to investigate the different learning strategies, which can be applied in the subject of mathematics, based on contemporary pedagogical currents that contribute to raising the academic level in students. It is worth noting that there are several variables that influence the low school performance, such as personal, institutional, and social environment that marks the student's learning process, by virtue of what has been said above, it is sought to define what would be the characteristics of those variables that determine school failure or success. For this, a theoretical foundation was reviewed, from which a conceptual analysis was carried out, on the different factors that condition school performance. An investigation was also carried out on a part of the population, applying a survey to then tabulate and analyze the results, which will allow us to present the research conclusions and the respective recommendations.

Implementing “what-if” learning strategy to improve high order thinking skills (HOTS) of students in statistics method i subject

“…The ability to think critically, logically, reflective, metacognitive and creative is a higher-order thinking skill or Higher Order Thinking Skills (King et al, 2012). High Order Thinking Skills is a process of thinking of students in a higher cognitive level that is developed from various concepts and methods of cognitive and learning taxonomies such as the method of problem-solving, bloom taxonomy, and the taxonomy of learning, teaching, and assessment (Saputra, 2016;Tumbaco et al, 2019). These high order thinking skills include problem-solving skills, creative thinking skills, critical thinking, argumentative abilities, and decision-making abilities.…”
