Facilitando el aprendizaje de trigonometría a través de una interfaz tangible
Résumé
En educación matemática, estudios evidencian dificultades y desafíos en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de trigonometría en educación secundaria y superior, donde no se estimula al estudiante a obtener un entendimiento conceptual profundo de los conceptos. Considerando su relevancia para diversas disciplinas, es necesario implementar nuevos acercamientos a su enseñanza, donde se privilegie un rol activo del estudiante en su propio aprendizaje. Diversos estudios demuestran que la incorporación de tecnologías digitales influyen positivamente aprendizaje de los alumnos, sin embargo, la mayoría de las tecnologías existentes responden al paradigma de interacción tradicional con un computador, donde no se considera el uso del cuerpo y de los múltiples sentidos. Las Interfaces Tangibles (TUI) en cambio, pueden albergar interacciones corporales, brindando directo tributo a la teoría de la Cognición Corporal. Sin embargo existe un vacío en la aplicación de TUI para la educación de trigonometría. Esta investigación consistió en diseñar y validar una interfaz tangible para la enseñanza-aprendizaje de trigonometría inicial. La interfaz alberga una experiencia de aprendizaje que privilegia la exploración, el uso de la intuición, y fomenta el aprendizaje colaborativo. Se realizó un Pre-Test diagnóstico con 119 estudiantes para determinar conocimientos previos dando un rendimiento promedio de 29.1%. Luego de dos intervenciones con la interfaz propuesta, los resultados de un Post-Test muestran un incremento del rendimiento en un 37.1%, lo que valida la efectividad pedagógica de la interfaz y experiencia pedagógica para el aprendizaje de conceptos básicos de trigonometría.
