APRENDIZAJE DE FÍSICA A PARTIR DE HABILIDADES MATEMÁTICAS EN ESTUDIANTES DE SECUNDARIA.

The objective was to identify the mathematical weaknesses in ninth grade students of the Escuela Técnica Comercial Dr. Jesús Enrique Losada. It was a descriptive research; the quantitative paradigm and a crosssectional design were used, with a sample of 138 students of the Physics subject. The data were collected by means of a checklist. The results indicate that 82% read the problem statement carefully, while 18% of the students did not do so. Thirty-one percent showed weaknesses in reviewing the problem statement. Finally, there are weaknesses that limit few students to easily solve the problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El objetivo fue identificar las debilidades matemáticas en los estudiantes de noveno grado de la Escuela Técnica Comercial Dr. Jesús Enrique Losada. Fue una investigación descriptiva; utilizando el paradigma cuantitativo y un diseño transversal, con una muestra de 138 alumnos de la asignatura de Física. Los datos fueron recogidos mediante una lista de cotejo. Los resultados indican que el 82% leyeron detenidamente el enunciado del problema, mientras el 18% de los estudiantes no lo hicieron. El 31% presentó debilidades en la revisión del enunciado del problema. Finalmente, existen debilidades que limitan a pocos alumnos a resolver con facilidad los problemas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
