Implementation of the Problem Based Learning methodology (ABP), in the Flat Geometry unit

Abstract

The present study was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the implementation process of the PBL methodology, in the Flat Geometry unit. This is a study with a methodological approach of a qualitative nature, its population consists of 5 teachers of Mathematics with experience in learning about Flat Geometry of FAREM-Estelí and 45 first-year students of the career of Physics-Mathematics. The data was collected through interview, observation, the application of a didactic unit based on the PBL methodology. The main results of the study show that learning through the resolution of problematic situations in Flat Geometry, it is the most effective way to improve learning spaces that are currently being developed in classrooms and that the constant search for more dynamic forms that involve the context where educational processes are developed facilitates the interpretation and analysis of them, the formulation of problematic situations according to their basic needs awakens the students’ interest and motivation to solve the problematic situations proposed.
