Impact of a propaedeutic course on mathematical competencies in new college students of the TecMM Puerto Vallarta Campus. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro.

Universities teach a training component in mathematics, which can be from a basic level to a more complex one, depending on the area of study (engineering generally has training more focused on the development of these competencies), a problem that occurs in the college institutions is the high rate of failure in mathematics (with implications for dropout), because students enter without having the skills expected from previous educational levels. The purpose of this work was to determine the impact of a remedial course designed by the basic sciences coordination of the José Mario Molina, Pasquel y Henríquez Institute, Puerto Vallarta campus (TecMM) in the formation of mathematical competencies in new students. To develop the study it was used a diagnostic test with arithmetic and algebra topics which was applied through a Web form before and after the remedial course to 134 students, and a dependent Z test for paired samples was used to determine the level of significance in the difference of the two measurements. The results show a significant improvement after the implementation of the course, concluding that this is a useful leveling strategy for new students.
