Juegos didácticos para potencializar el aprendizaje significativo de las matemáticas en quinto grado, Escuela Juan Montalvo 2022

Abstract

The research work is aimed at finding relevant and pertinent information about didactic games as a learning strategy to improve the meaningful learning of mathematics in fifth grade students of basic education belonging to the educational institution Juan Montalvo, the which responds to a non-experimental study of a quantitative-qualitative nature, in the field. The observation technique was applied to collect visual information, record it and then carry out the corresponding analysis. The structured interview addressed to the teacher, allowed to know the perspectives that educators have regarding the use of didactic resources such as the game, with precise questions for the organization of information. In addition, the survey of the students was necessary, since the point of view of the students is also important, since they are the ones who know their needs. For the development of the research, the deductive method was used to extract possible solutions or answers based on the hypothesis, as well as the inductive method whose objective is to generalize knowledge to particular situations. Among the most relevant findings, it was obtained that in the institution the game is not used as didactic resources, in fact the blackboard, markers and rules are used for the teaching of mathematical exercises, the content base is extracted from the educational texts that it delivers. the government of the day, it was possible to detect the lack of participation of the students, they in the survey answered mostly that they do not do it because they are unaware of the procedure or out of simple shame, a case that draws a lot of attention and the gaps continue in the Ecuadorian education, the approach to this problem arose since in the 2017 PISA tests the results in mathematics were not satisfactory. In other words, the level of knowledge is in a very low range, another of the challenges due to which performance does not meet educational standards is due to the influence of the pandemic, since students did not receive reinforcement at home from their Parents and teachers had to face many digital difficulties, for the return to school they ran into neglected classrooms, and a great lack of educational resources. Traditional situation that is intended to improve with the application of the proposal, teachers recognize that the use of the game is favorable since it energizes the class and it can be learned, it is also feasible because creativity can be accessed with the elaboration of their own material didactic, the games can also be found on the web, and through the search for information it was detected that there are digital games with themes that are in the units of the books, for which they are accessible and can be located in the curricular planning.
