Empleo de material didáctico para el aprendizaje de la geometría en el noveno año en el Colegio Ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

This work corresponds to a focused proposal to the applying of didactic material in order to improve the teaching learning process of Geometry in the 9thyear of EGB in the Ciudad de Cuenca High School. The proposal is guided to create dynamic environments to enforce a significant learning and to improve the students’ academic performance. Besides, it pretends to avoid the use of old traditional teaching methods instead using a current methodology system based in the constructive pedagogic current and the Van Hiele´s model. Also, it motivates the students the study of Geometry with active, entertaining lessons where everyone participates actively. The thesis contains five chapters: Chapter one comprises the antecedents and justification that motivates us to develop this proposal. Chapter two is developed the theorical frame to show our main proposal. It consists of the methodology teaching and learning Geometrical process, didactic material, constructivism, Van Hiele’s model and academic learning. The Chapter three show the methodology used by the investigation and the statistics analysis of surveys and interviews done.
