Case studies: learning strategy incorporating Lego Education in the seventh-grade math course at the school

Abstract

This article presents reflections on the use of case studies that revolve around the student’s environment to use it as an input in the development of the mathematics course in the seventh grades at the “Isidro Caballero Delgado” school in Floridablanca, Santander, Colombia. With this experience, it can be determined that the use of robotics prototypes in mathematics is a support tool as a pedagogical strategy in the student’s learning process, strengthening not only the academic but also their comprehensive training. That is why students use the construction of the prototypes not only to learn mathematical concepts for better understanding, analysis, and critical reasoning but also to develop technical language in an empirical way giving answers to the laws of physics in the prototype or its function. This work is part of doctoral research where 60 students of the experimental group participated. The structure of the document contains a first section with the introduction, second section where the methodology and the applied strategy are detailed; in section third the results obtained are mentioned; and finally, in fourth section, the conclusions and possible recommendations are presented.

Asumiendo las tic en las prácticas pedagógicas. Cambios y desafíos en los profesores

“…Currently governments are providing some urban and rural educational institutions with technology with the aim of integrating them into pedagogical practices, but it is not only about bringing technology to educational institutions and assimilate that teachers will use it for teaching and learning purposes where many of them are apathetic to new technologies, rather, the relevance of these projects lies in the awareness and training to teachers in the correct use of all tools so that they can integrate them into their lives and in all teaching and learning processes , This way they will be able to apply it using the pedagogical methods with their knowledge to the students in an optimal way and with quality because it is not only that the students learn from technology, but also that they can learn with technology, in this way all government projects in terms of technological implementation can be placed at the service of the teaching and learning processes in each institution (Rico-Bautista et al, 2019), (Rico-Bautista et al, 2020).…”
