Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show the results obtained through research on the level of development of mathematical competencies in second year students of the Mathematics Teacher Training Program at UPNFM. The methodology was developed under a mixed approach based on the qualitative-quantitative complementarity of data. For the design of the mathematical competencies evaluation model, the theoretical framework of PISA 2006 was taken as a reference, where the competencies were operationalized by establishing categories of analysis and descriptors according to the levels of achievement of the competency. The results show that students’ best performance was achieved in the competencies of reasoning and argumentation and problem posing and solving. The competencies with the lowest levels of achievement are communication and representation. The least developed levels of competencies are shown in the development of tasks that demand autonomous thinking and creativity.
