Propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza de las medidas de tendencia central a través del Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABPt)

Abstract

This thesis, entitled "Didactic proposal for teaching central tendency measures through Project-Based Learning (PBL)", arises as a response to the difficulties identified in the teaching-learning process of statistics in the tenth year of Basic General Education. The research was carried out at the "República del Ecuador" Educational Unit, using a mixed methodology that included the application of surveys to students and interviews with teachers. The main objective is to design a teaching guide that integrates methodological strategies based on the PBL approach, with the purpose of promoting meaningful learning and the development of critical skills in the understanding and application of statistical concepts such as mean, median, mode and weighted mean. The results of the research reflect that traditional pedagogical practices, the limited use of technological resources and the scarcity of practical activities negatively affect the interest and understanding of students in this area. The proposal raises activities aimed at solving problems in real contexts, the use of technological tools and the promotion of collaborative work. In this way, the aim is to transform the teaching of central tendency measures into a dynamic and interactive process that connects theory with practice, contributing to the comprehensive development of students and aligning with the objectives of the Ecuadorian educational curriculum.
