La atención selectiva y el aprendizaje significativo de las matemáticas

Abstract

The following research project called: "Selective attention and meaningful learning of mathematics in students of basic general education of the Teresa Flor Educational Unit" is located in the province of Tungurahua in the city of Ambato. Its objective is to determine the correlation of selective attention and meaningful learning of mathematics in a sample of 81 students corresponding to secondary school. In Chapter I, the theoretical framework was carried out, for the respective research process, relevant information was selected through various reliable sources such as scientific journals, articles, books, papers and psychopedagogical journals. In Chapter II, the research was developed through a mixed approach, since this helped the correlation of data, in this way correlational, explanatory, descriptive and field research methods were put into practice respectively. In Chapter III, data collection instruments such as the d2 Test for selective attention and concentration were used, in addition to the B.E.R.D.E battery in order to relate attention with the learning of mathematics of 6th and 7th grade students. Finally, in Chapter IV, the hypothesis was verified using the Chi-square statistic. In this way, the null hypothesis could be rejected and the alternative hypothesis accepted.
