Enseñanza-aprendizaje de la resta para estudiantes del subnivel preparatoria a partir de la implementación del método Singapur

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to analyze the teaching-learning process of subtraction in high school students by implementing the Singapore method. The teaching of subtraction - within child-professional practices - made it possible to understand the difficulties of students in terms of the differentiation of signs and concepts and the use of subtraction in exercises associated with the school context. From the implementation and analysis of the information, certain shortcomings were identified, such as repetition in learning and limited use of learning methodologies and teaching materials. This research is interpretive and descriptive in nature with a qualitative approach in which different research categories were identified. Techniques such as participant observation, unstructured interviews, and document review are used for data collection. Each instrument was applied according to the research needs and the different actors in the school context. The research results address different positive aspects of the use of the Singapore method in students, such as the development of logical-mathematical thinking, autonomy, greater security, and collaborative work, among others, making the implementation of this educational proposal a process that responds very well to the expectations of the academic community.
