Abstract
SAUCEDO FERNANDEZ, Mario; ESPINOSA CARRASCO, Martha Elena and HERRERA SANCHEZ, Santa del Carmen. Pólya Method Applied to the Algebraic Language in First Year of Degree. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.18, pp.512-538. ISSN 2007-7467. https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v9i18.434.
The low performance present in students of various levels in the mathematical field is a matter of concern for teachers. Through this study a documentary analysis was carried out through which it was possible to demonstrate that the Pólya method, as a didactic strategy applied to mathematics, increases the abilities of students as solvers. The study of correlational scope was worked with two groups, control and experimental, formed from the population of 68 students entering the first year of the Universidad Autónoma del Carmen. The development of the research consisted of a previous evaluation to verify homogeneity of groups; after this the didactic strategy was implemented to the experimental group, and finally the acquired knowledge was evaluated. Within the results of the statistical tests, significant evidence could be found. It was concluded that the Pólya method increased the performance of the students with whom the strategy was worked on compared to those who did not.
