Método singapur en la enseñanza de las cónicas en segundo año de bachillerato

Abstract

In recent years, a deficiency has been evidenced in the high school students of the Víctor León Vivar educational center located in the city of Nabón, Ecuador, mainly in the subject of mathematics and, specifically, in the topic of conic sections. For this reason, in the search for improving the quality of education and the teaching-learning process, the Singaporean educational system was found as a reference model in this research. In this research we intend to design a didactic guide based on the Singapore model, which seeks to improve the academic performance of students, as well as to promote problem-solving skills of students and provide teachers with a tool for better planning. We will work with students in the second year of high school, who, being separated into two different parallels, will be treated separately, the first will be considered the control group and the second the experimental group. In the first instance, a pretest is applied to each of the groups as a diagnosis to be taken as a starting point; followed by the teaching stage where the control group maintains the process with the educational texts of the Ministry of Education, while the experimental group uses the proposed didactic guide. Finally, an academic evaluation is made to each of the groups in order to determine their understanding of the concepts taught by the teacher. It is determined that the experimental group obtained a better academic achievement demonstrated with a better understanding of the concepts, better communication and satisfaction of the students compared to the control group that maintained the performance of the last times.
