Abstract

The results derived from the National Plan for the Evaluation of Learning (PLANEA) in 2017 show that students of Higher Secondary Education (EMS) in Mexico have insufficient knowledge of the key learning included in the curricular references in the field of Geometry and Trigonometry (GyT). In order to address this problem, research was carried out with high school students, starting from the premise that the type of teaching strategies is relevant in the achievement of competencies. The objective of the research was to identify the relationship between teaching from a Complex Thinking (CP) approach and the improvement in the achievement of learning competencies in GyT, in topics of flat figures and solids. The research had a mixed approach, with a descriptive and correlational scope. After designing and implementing teaching strategies with a focus on the PC and applying the different evaluation instruments, the results demonstrated that there is no correlation between teaching based on the PC and the mastery of competencies, that the improvement in the learning achieved by the 39 students in the study group respond to knowledge-focused and directed teaching strategies more than those based on PC.
