Abstract

The cognitive skills now represent a subject of numerous investigations because is the ability of people to perceive, learn, remember and think about the information, to build knowledge. The topic of this research is: Program of Development of cognitive skills, DHAC in teaching mathematics, "seeking as objective:" Determine DHAC program impact, on the mathematics skills," in the students of the Eighth grade in Cesar Davila Andrade high school of the city of Cuenca.in the students of the Eighth grade in Cesar Davila Andrade high school of the city of Cuenca.The methodology used was the application of a battery of skills and a program to develop cognitive skills in relation to abstract reasoning;observation was primary during work, interviews with experts and teachers, and finally the bibliographic research.The study reveal that implementing a program of development of cognitive skills, is a contribution to enhance the development of these skills in students, achieving to increase general intelligence, logical reasoning, and generating higher levels of effectiveness.We do not have enough evidenceto believe that working with a program of development of cognitive skills independently of the subjectof Mathematics generate an impact on it.Finally the achievements in this investigation are not absolute truths; I hope these provide and create greater curiosity for future research in this topic, looking to know our educational reality.
