Resolución de problemas matemáticosun cuestionario para su evaluación y comprensión

Abstract

The following article discussed the analysis of an evaluation tool with the purpose to explore and characterize the processes of resolving mathematical problems or exercises. This is a quantitative and qualitative study, with a sample of 80 students from the University of the Autonomous Regions of the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua, Nueva Guinea campus. The analysis was developed based on the difficulty index, discrimination index, reliability, validity of the content and construct, as well as the analysis of the total scores. The results indicates that the comprehension notion is the storyline of the design, implementation and evaluation of the processes of resolving mathematical problems in algebraic context, and its explained in an epistemological, ecological, affective, cognitive, interactional and mediational terms. Meanwhile, in terms of evaluation tools it aims to provide information related to personal meanings of a group of students on an object or pertaining a group of mathematical objects.
