Application of the Methodology of Pbl in 4th Grade of Compulsory Secondary Education: Approach to High School

Abstract

As it is well known, the best way to learn mathematics and consolidate the knowledge is practicing until getting confidence and ease in exercises resolution. Based on this opinion, method of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) appears to foster the effective development of logical-mathematical competence in the classroom. In this work, the application of the PBL methodology in the subject of academic mathematics of the 4 degrees ESO course is proposed in a practical way with the aim of motivating the student and giving him greater autonomy in order to pursue a future high school diploma. In this way, some of the strategies that have worked best for their implementation and inclusion within the programming are indicated. The results obtained show that students who get used to working in this way are closer to the university teaching model and the world of work, obtaining better results when they are forced to work daily in a continuous evaluation process.
