Manifestaciones de los Profesores de Matemáticas sobre sus Prácticas de Evaluación de la Resolución de Problemas

Abstract

Assessments are one of the organizers of the curriculum and should be part of the teaching and learning, as well as through the acquisition of learning. Together, we understand that problem solving is a learning objective, as reflected in the curriculum proposals, so that it becomes subject to evaluation. In our research we developed a questionnaire assessing problem solving from the demands made in the national curriculum of mathematics and applied it to 211 high school mathematics teachers in Bogota (Colombia), seeking to analyze the criteria that teachers consider when evaluating this content and level of importance or agreement, which is used to evaluate each one of these aspects. As a result, we find that among our informants, but as priorities the curricular demands on teaching and learning heuristics, evaluation focuses on the development of purely mechanical means. Also we include, although the importance of assessing affective is recognized, its evaluation is considered less markedly. This research is part of a larger project in the Department of Didactics of Experimental Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Extremadura.
