Método Singapur y los Petroglifos de Catazho en la enseñanza de la geometría en el subnivel básica media

Abstract

The present research examined the impact of the Singapore Method and the incorporation of Catazho Petroglyphs in the teaching of Geometry among students at the Middle Basic Sublevel of Azuay Basic Education School, located in the San José community of the Limón Indanza canton, during the academic year 2023 - 2024. The study adopted a quasi- experimental design, employing a quantitative approach with a correlational scope. Data collection involved pre and post-tests of knowledge administered to the experimental group to assess academic performance. Additionally, post-intervention interviews were conducted to capture students' perceptions regarding the applied intervention. The effectiveness evaluation of the intervention was conducted through statistical analysis of quantitative data using Jamovi software and the Student's T-Test, while qualitative data from interviews were analyzed interpretatively. Findings reveal that the established theoretical framework, preliminary diagnosis, design, and effective implementation of the didactic proposal positively influenced both academic performance and student motivation. These results support the initial hypothesis and underscore the relevance of contextualizing mathematics teaching to optimize the educational process.
