UNICIENCIA60092019-04-23T03:35:02Z Difficulties faced by eighth grade students in the learning of linear equation problems at a high school in Heredia Dificultades en el aprendizaje de problemas que se modelan con ecuaciones lineales: El caso de estudiantes de octavo nivel de un colegio de Heredia Chavarría Arroyo, Gilberto learning difficulties equation problems mathematical learning Dificultades de aprendizaje problemas con ecuaciones aprendizaje matemático The current article presents the results of a study that aimed to analyze the difficulties faced by eighth grade students when learning to solve algebraic problems based on linear equations with one unknown variable. The participants were learners with low average performance in mathematics at a high school in Heredia. The research followed a naturalistic paradigm and the case study method with a qualitative approach. Different techniques like class observations, questionnaires to students, non-structured interviews to teachers and interviews to the learners were applied. The research helped to identify the main causes of difficulty when learning to solve algebraic problems. Some of the causes that were identified are affective aspects, lack of previous knowledge, poor relational understanding, fatigue, diversion, reading deficiencies and misunderstanding of terminology. Se presentan los resultados de una investigación, cuyo propósito fue analizar las dificultades de estudiantes de octavo año, al aprender el tema de resolución de problemas algebraicos modelados mediante ecuaciones lineales con una incógnita. Los protagonistas fueron estudiantes con bajo rendimiento en matemática de un colegio de Heredia. La investigación se desarrolló desde el paradigma naturalista y se utilizó el estudio de caso como método, mediante un enfoque cualitativo. Se aplicaron técnicas como observaciones de clase, cuestionario a estudiantes, entrevistas no estructuradas a la docente y entrevista clínica a los educandos. Entre los datos más relevantes se destacaron las principales causas de las dificultades de los estudiantes al aprender a resolver problemas algebraicos: aspectos afectivos, deficiencia en conocimientos previos, poca comprensión relacional, fatiga, distracción, deficiencias en la lectura y mal manejo de terminología.
