Incidencia de la neurodidáctica como estrategia de enseñanza y aprendizaje para el fortalecimiento del pensamiento lógico matemático en ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje (AVA)

Abstract

Starting from a previous work carried out by the authors of this research, elements were identified that from Neurodidactics can integrate a “neurocurricular” proposal. The research in its initial phase proposed the design of a curriculum integrating components from Cognitive Neurosciences in Education. Therefore, the results of the initial phase provided a starting point for the integration of teaching and learning strategies from Neurodidactics in AVA, for the strengthening of logical mathematical thinking. The research problem lies in the deficiency of mathematical logical thinking skills that students have when they enter the first semesters. Regarding mathematical logical thinking, it provides students with skills to solve school or everyday life situations (Cardoso and Cerecedo, 2008), in turn, this deficiency leads to non-understanding in other areas of knowledge. To address the problem, the objective of the research was to determine the incidence of Neurodidactics as a teaching and learning strategy for the strengthening of mathematical logical thinking in virtual learning environments (AVA). Methodologically a mixed investigation is approached because it allows to have a broader and deeper perspective of the phenomenon (Hernández, Fernández and Baptista, 2014). Thus, from the quantitative point of view, a pre-experimental design is proposed (pretest - posttest with a single group) and, on the other hand, from a qualitative perspective, a descriptive scope using direct observation as a technique. Concurrent methodological triangulation (DITRIAC) will be used to analyze the results. Finally, the research is oriented from the verification of the incidence of neurodidactics in the strengthening of mathematical logical thinking, through the implementation of strategies mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Virtual Learning Environments (AVA).
