Recursos lúdicos para la enseñanza de matemáticas en estudiantes de sexto grado, Unidad Educativa Ciudad de Machala, periodo 2022 - 2023

Abstract

Playful resources are learning strategies that contribute significantly to the educational process. The use of ludic resources, are pedagogical techniquesthat help the student develop experiences, attitudes, competences, in an active way. The didactic resources manage to carry out the development of cognitive abilities, a fundamental factor in the academic formation of children. Therefore, with this research it has been identified that teachers do not use recreational tools within the area of mathematics, causing low academic performance by students. This research work will be carried out, since it is a problem that occurs daily within educational institutions, the little use of recreational resources, results in disinterest, demotivation, school failure, and low academic performance. For this reason, the present titling work is directed to determine the incidence of playful resources, in the teaching of mathematics in sixth grade students, of the educational unit "Ciudad de Machala", in order to provide a solution to the present problematic. The methodology assumed in the research is of a fundamental qualitative nature in the statistical method, the observation and survey technique was applied to 25 sixth grade students, from the educational unit "Ciudad de Machala", in order to provide a solution to this problematic. In order to collect the necessary information for the study of the phenomenon, this technique contains a questionnaire of 10 already established questions. Likewise, quantitative research wasimplemented, such asthe interview addressed to teachers with 10 questions, to find out what their methodology is like and what kind of strategies are used when teaching mathematical content. The investigations carried out allowed us to know the problem in depth, resulting in the fact that the sixth grade teachers of the "Ciudad de Machala" educational unit do not use recreational resources to implement mathematics classes. Little knowledge, lack of time in the educational day, improve school performance. Given the needs detected in the diagnosis of the problem, an alternative is proposed to prepare a manual of recreational resources, aimed at the teachers of said institution. With the objective of strengthening its pedagogical praxis, which improves 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 for teachers to assume their role as educators with dedication, vocation, responsibility and commitment, to be constantly in training that helps strengthen their knowledge, experiences, and design learning strategies according to the needs and interest of each one of their students, in order to form reflective, critical, sociable and humanistic students.
