Resolución de problemas matemáticos: estrategia didáctica para desarrollar habilidades lógico-cognitivas y tomar decisiones

Abstract

Human beings make decisions always, therefore, is essential to develop certain skills to make assertive decisions. The objective of this study is to apply a didactic strategy, based on the resolution of mathematical problems, to contribute on the development of cognitive-logical skills for decision making on students. The strategy, based on the resolution of mathematical problems, was applied in three stages. The research-action design was applied within the socio-critical paradigm, with an approach that combined qualitative and quantitative techniques, such as the survey and observation, with its questionnaire instruments and observation guide. Diagnosis, pre-experiment and validation, by experts, were performed. In conclusion, the indicators showed that the proposed didactic strategy is feasible and effective to develop cognitive-logical, and decision making skills. In addition, social factors are the most important for the development of cognitive, and decision making skills.
