Las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones en el fortalecimiento del pensamiento físico matemático

Abstract

The development of mathematical physical thinking allows the student to develop skills in mathematizing physical phenomena. The purpose of the research is to identify the relationship between the development of mathematical physical thinking, understood as the ability to mathematize physical phenomena, with the use of information and communication technologies, with control variables identified from the psychosocial, economic and socio-demographic conditions of students belonging to public universities, located in the Department of Norte de Santander. In this research with a multi-method approach, instruments are applied to identify technological tools implemented by 101 teachers, determine the development of thinking, know the socio-demographic and psychosocial conditions of 537 students from five higher education institutions, and consequently determine a model that associates and explains the level of development of mathematical thinking using technologies in university students. Descriptive statistics of the different variables are made; and logit models to identify the factors that influence them. With a 95% reliability, the results indicate that there is a significant functional relationship between the development of physical mathematical thinking and the variables educational management related to teacher planning, teaching tool, learning outcome, access to platform, innovation competence. It is concluded that an ordinal logistic regression model allows identifying factors associated with the use of ICT to forecast increases in the level of development of physical-mathematical thinking.
