Abstract

This research work is developed in such a way that the topic called “Montessori Method in the development of logical mathematical thinking, basic elementary, Manuel Utreras Gómez Basic Education School, Santa Rosa, 2022-2023 can be explained and detailed to the educational community. ” through the search for updated bibliography, initially starting from the problem raised about how does this method contribute to the development of logical mathematical thinking in students at the basic elementary level of the aforementioned institution? In this sense, this integrative project has the general objective of determining how the Montessori method contributes to the development of logical mathematical thinking for elementary school students within the “Manuel Utreras Gómez” School of Basic Education, Santa Rosa, period 2022 -2023. The central hypothesis frames that the application of this method contributes at a high level to the development of mathematical logical thinking because the learner develops a potential framed in logical and mathematical analysis, in addition, it awakens autonomy in the acquisition of significant learning. In consideration of the applied methodology, it describes a quantitative-qualitative approach accompanied by the application of empirical methods based on techniques and instruments such as the survey, interview and observation guide; In this same sense, the inductive-deductive method was carried out which allowed us to know and highlight those essential aspects of the research from generalization to contrasting the object to validate the phenomenon studied. Regarding the level of research, it is explanatory - descriptive with a bibliographic type modality, accessing databases and field databases to obtain direct data on the reality in the aforementioned school. The instruments used together with the relevant statistics allowed us to represent, analyze, and interpret the results resulting from a questionnaire applied to the sample of 84 students, an interview guide for the 6 teachers and an observation guide to the teaching-learning process in the different classrooms. class, in this way, a need was made known regarding the low level of development of mathematical logical thinking in the students evidenced with respect to the capacities of abstraction, deduction and problem solving, in addition, a degree of little knowledge among teaching staff regarding the implementation of Montessori materials and knowledge of it. Based on this, it was decided to implement a proposal based on the design of an instruction manual accompanied by the construction of Montessori materials where more didactic alternatives were provided, emphasizing the direct manipulation of the students with the learning object, in this case with the materials. That is, learning based on stimulation and construction within a welcoming environment. In addition, a section was included for each material about the content, skills with performance criteria and competencies that are developed with said implementation. Starting from this context, a thorough feasibility analysis was carried out on the technical, economic, social and legal dimensions, which led to the conclusion that the implementation of this proposal generated a positive impact on the educational community, emphasizing that It promotes the development of logical thinking, freedom of movement, teaching based on personalization regarding learning rhythms and the acquisition of knowledge through active education.
