Figuras geométricas mediante la adaptación de la Uña Taptana en primero de básica de la Escuela de Educación Básica Intercultural Bilingüe Mushuc Ñan

Abstract

The present work of Curricular Integration addresses the topic of teaching geometric figures in the first grade of basic education, using the adaptation of the Uña Taptana in the Intercultural Bilingual Basic Education School Mushuc Ñan. The main objective is to improve the learning process of children at this educational level, promoting a meaningful understanding and greater retention of knowledge. The original Uña Taptana is a didactic resource developed by the Universidad Nacional de Educación (UNAE). In this study, this instrument has been adapted for the specific context of the first grade of basic education, which is immersed in an intercultural bilingual environment. We have sought to create a connection between ethnomathematical knowledge and the cultural traditions of the community, thus promoting meaningful and contextualized learning. The development of this project has been carried out through a qualitative approach, using observation techniques, interviews and field diaries. We have worked closely with teachers, students and community members, seeking active collaboration for the design and implementation of activities based on the adaptation of the Uña Taptana. The results obtained so far show significant progress in the learning of geometric figures by students. The use of the adapted resource has generated greater interest and motivation in the students.
