Abstract

The following study focuses on the application of an instrumental enrichment program aimed at helping the teaching learning process of eight grade basic education students. The developed Project is a program which intend to improve the cognitive performance of students with academic deficiencies, so that it generates a positive change in their study behavior. This change is fundamentally based on the adoption of affective modalities that direct, and guide a person’s behavior; it additionally involves the use of logic and reasoning in the academic formation of mathematics. This Project uses the FIE (Reuven Feuerstein’s instrumental enrichment program), from which it is proposed a guide to reinforce the teacher’s job as a mediator and the student as the main actor in his / her learning; the developed tools will help students enhance cognitive skills. This research intends to support the educational process, since it enables students to improve their level of logic reasoning, providing basis for higher intellectual and personal development.
