La robótica y el diseño de APP: una posibilidad para potenciar el pensamiento matemático de los estudiantes de pregrado

Abstract

In the national educational context and for students at the basic and secondary education levels, their appropriations of mathematical concepts tend to be low and this becomes especially evident when they enter higher education. It is necessary to implement active and innovative methodologies that promote in the student new dynamics for the development of a mathematical Knowledge; To answer to this problem, from the research group Entre Ciencia e Ingeniería of the Faculty of Basic Sciences and Engineering of the Católica de Pereira University, it is proposed to carry out a methodological proposal based on the use of robotic devices LEGO MINDSTORMS and mobile platforms such as App Inventor with the purpose that the student improves their levels of competence in numerical, variational and geometric thoughts.
