APROXIMACIÓN ETIMOLÓGICA Y EPISTEMOLÓGICA A LA NOCIÓN DE AUTONOMÍA

Abstract

Mathematics education throughout the years has been object of study and reference to know and to evaluate different theories and methods of instruction in benefit of the students and its relation with this subject. The developed investigation presents the results of a study made to the different actors in education at the Educational Institute Juan XXIII, located in the city of Valencia, Venezuela. Seventh grade students, their parents, professors of the mathematical chair and the directors of the same institute, were surveyed to know their vision of math courses as well as its possible influence in the development of logical-mathematics abilities with the help of new technologies, to construct a virtual community that stimulates the collaborative learning. Important results were obtained, which allowed to develop a proposal to the institution following its guidelines in educative standard like the interval years program (PAI), and as well to develop the concepts and instructions methodologies of the Backwards Design and the Education for Understanding. This proposal has Moodle as platform, which is intended to be incorporated as state of the art technology for the development of classroom strategies to support teachers in their daily activities, in order to reach the understanding and mathematical ability in the pupils
