LARIOS OSORIO, Víctor; SPINDOLA YANEZ, Patricia Isabel; CUEVAS SALAZAR, Omar  and  CASTRO, Jesús Jerónimo. Semiotic conflicts and levels of algebrization in engineering candidates. Educ. mat. [online]. 2021, vol.33, n.3, pp.263-289.  Epub May 30, 2022. ISSN 2448-8089.  https://doi.org/10.24844/em3303.10.

This paper shows a study on the level of development of algebraic knowledge of applicants to engineering careers of the Autonomous University of Querétaro, México. An instrument with open items was applied to applicants for the 2017-2018 cycle and for high school mathematics content. In the anal-ysis of the responses we identified mathematical practices, personal meanings and semiotic conflicts related to levels of algebrization that are not appropriate for the adequate development of future engineers. This will make possible to propose changes in the design of the admission process, in the curricular part of existing careers and in the design of actions that can strengthen and support the academic training of applicants once they have been accepted.

Keywords : Engineer training; Semiotic conflicts; Levels of algebrization.
