Método polya en la resolución de problemas matemáticos, cuarto grado, Escuela Unidad Educativa Tenguel, Guayaquil,2022-2023

Abstract

This study addresses the topic of the Polya Method in mathematical problem-solving and employs a research approach that combines both quantitative and qualitative elements. To achieve this, data collection instruments will be designed to encompass both modalities, allowing for a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the studied phenomenon. On the qualitative aspect, the perceptions and qualities of primary education students will be explored, while on the quantitative aspect, numerical data related to the acceptance of the Polya Method as a teaching approach in Mathematics will be analyzed. Regarding the research level, this study is characterized as descriptive, aiming for a detailed understanding of the selected variables. Additionally, an explanatory approach is adopted to establish cause-and-effect relationships between the variables, determining if changes in one variable have a significant impact on the other. The research modality is cross-sectional, as data collection will take place during a specific period defined by the researchers. In terms of sampling, a non-probabilistic sample is used, in which sampling units are deliberately selected by the researchers according to specific criteria. It is worth noting that this research is based on a bibliographic documentary review and the collection of field data through the search and selection of articles and scientific-educational documents in indexed journals. The objective is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the Polya Method on mathematical problem-solving from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective.
