Metodología de Análisis de Disponibilidad Léxica en Alumnos de Pedagogía a través de la Comparación Jerárquica de Lexicones

Abstract

The present work proposes a methodology of analysis of lexical availability based on the direct comparison of lexicons obtained from students of pedagogy. This is done in response to centers of interest on topics considered as standard by the Chilean Ministry of Education, for the teaching of mathematics in secondary education. The methodology defines a new measure of dissimilarity between lexicons based on Levenshtein's distance, which allows using a quantitative analysis approach including statistics and clustering techniques that are not possible in traditional approaches. The results show the feasibility of the proposed approach, allowing the use of the available lexicon as a tool for comparison of groups and individuals.
