Cómo se Esfuerzan los Alumnos en Resolución de Problemas Matemáticos (I)

Abstract

In this paper we study how the way students make an effort influences problem solving. On analyzing students effort, we focus on three dimensions: their attention, the language they use internally to talk with themselves and how they face the challenge; and that is the reason why we use a theoretical framework that includes executive abilities as part of intelligence. We choose a case study of a student in a Secondary school in the tenth year, Sísifo. The study brings to light the way effort influences problem solving.
