Evaluación de estrategias formativas para mejorar las actitudes hacia las matemáticas en secundaria

Abstract

We design, implement and evaluate (process and results) a training program (pamg) for students of twelve public high schools located in the City of Mexico (eight of them evening and low results in the ENLACE test), whose purpose was to improve and the attitudes of students towards mathematics from a gender perspective. The program consists of five strategies (persuasion, metacognition, conflict cognitive and life history) in nine didactic activities with six hours duration. To evaluate the pamg we build a mixed methodology that includes an interpretive analysis of the process (notes and videotaping of the sessions) and a quasi-experimental design with statistical analysis (results), identifying those specific strategies that positively improved attitudes girls and boys. Qualitatively, we identify that speaking in the first person about mathematics and good social-affective relationships in the group, positively impact on the work in the classroom.
