Systematization of experiences on research in didactics of the mathematics problem solving / Sistematización de experiencias sobre la investigación en didáctica de la resolución de problemas matemáticos

Abstract

Mathematics problem solving is difficult for most students, for this reason the investigators in Didactics of Mathematics constantly works on the construction of theories that help to understand their complex nature, with the purpose of facilitating their teaching learning. Consequently, the objective of this study was to expose the most relevant aspects of research in didactics of solving mathematical problems, obtained in the last twenty years by the Didactic Research Group of Mathematics and Computing, of the Universidad de Oriente, Cuba. The method of systematizing experiences was used, supported by content analysis, interviews and participant observation. The main result was an increase in the knowledge of the theoretical approaches, diagnostic and corroborative means, analytical categories, theoretic-methodological constructs and communication channels, which have shown greater consistency in the investigation of the aforementioned didactics. The above provides research groups with a suitable framework for the study, application and socialization of results, aimed at improving the didactics of solving mathematical problems.
