Gestionar el Diseño de Estrategias Didácticas para Mejorar el Rendimiento Escolar en el Área de Matemáticas en Estudiantes que Proceden de Contextos Rurales en una Institución Educativa del Municipio de Chimichagua Cesar

Abstract

This research project sought to intervene a problem in the teaching and learning process of sixth grade students in the afternoon at the Cerveleón Padilla Lascarros Technical School in the municipality of Chimichagua in the department of Cesar. It consisted of improving the results of the internal tests of these students in mathematics, starting from the particularity that they come from and reside in a rural area, but study in an urban area, this particular situation generates some barriers to learning. This allowed to approach a study that allowed the management of didactic strategies based on a methodology that was inserted in the pedagogical action research, to minimize the barriers found and lead to improve the results of the internal evaluation, the management undertaken led to propose and implement the strategy Problem Based Learning, in this case with situations that involved the economic activities of the families, which favored the result in the internal activities and aroused the interest of students in the study of the area of mathematics. It was possible to conclude that in the rural context there are potentialities present that can be used to develop students' learning in mathematics, so that a transversal methodology between areas and projects could be considered. It was demonstrated that Problem Based Learning is a teaching strategy that favors above all family integration from a contextual point of view that contributes to the improvement of students' academic performance, promoting self-learning and motivation to continue learning.

Key words: School performance, multigrade methodology, didactic strategy.
