Juegos didácticos para fortalecer la enseñanza aprendizaje matemática, en estudiantes del subnivel de EGB Manuel Utrera Gómez, periodo 2021.

Abstract

Didactic games are learning strategies that contribute to the construction of knowledge of the human being and society. The use of didactic games in the teaching and learning process is a pedagogical technique that helps to acquire experiences and competence in a fun and active way for students. The didactic games allow to potentiate the cognitive, affective and communicative development, as a fundamental factor in the academic formation of the children. Therefore, with this research it has been identified that teachers did not use active methodologies within the area of mathematics, causing disinterest, low academic performance on the part of the students. This research work will be developed, since it is a problem that occurs continuously in educational centers, the low use of recreational games, results in demotivation, school dropout, and poor academic performance. For this reason, the present degree work is aimed at determining the incidence of didactic games in the teaching and learning of mathematics, in students of the elementary sublevel of EGB "Manuel Utreras Gómez", from the city of Santa Rosa, with the purpose of solving this problem. The methodology assumed in the research is of a qualitative nature based on the statistical method, the observation and survey technique was applied to 163 students of the elementary sublevel of the "Manuel Utreras Gómez" basic education school, to collect the necessary information for the study. Of the phenomenon, this technique contains a questionnaire of 10 already established questions. Likewise, quantitative research was implemented, such as the interview addressed to teachers with 10 questions, to find out what their methodology is like and what type of strategies they use when teaching mathematical content. The investigations carried out allowed to know the problem in depth, resulting in the fact that the teachers of the elementary school of the "Manuel Utreras Gómez" basic education school do not use the necessary games to develop mathematics classes. The little knowledge, the lack of time in the educational day, the large number of students, affect cognitive development, especially in school performance. Given the needs detected in the diagnosis of the problem, it is proposed as an alternative to design a didactic guide aimed at the teachers of said institution. With the objective of strengthening its pedagogical praxis, which allows improving the teaching and learning process, whose proposal is innovative to be applied since the technical, economic and social requirements respond to the needs presented by the Institution. Finally, it is necessary that teachers assume their role as educators with dedication, vocation, responsibility and commitment, be constantly in training that helps strengthen their knowledge, experiences, and design learning strategies according to the needs and interests of each one of their students, in order to train reflective, critical, sociable and humanistic students. Therefore, the creation or implementation of educational games, in the subject of mathematics, will encourage motivation, intelligence, creativity and curiosity, and strengthen children's learning.
