Contribución de las melodias musicales al análisis de los problemas matemáticos con operaciones básicas en las habilidades de los estudiantes de grado sexto del Colegio integrado Juan Atalaya de Cúcuta

Abstract

According to the observations and opinions of the teachers of different academic areas associated with reading and interpretation within the educational field of the Juan Atalaya Integrated School, it has been analyzed and determined that there is a problem regarding the analysis and resolution of mathematical problems after the pandemic caused by COVID 19. This occurs especially in the sixth graders of the school, choosing 604 grade, as the sample. The study had as objective to transform the analysis and resolution of mathematical problems using basic operations and musical melodies as a strategy in the aforementioned educational context. The methodological approach was mixed, since both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed in the process. In this, they made direct observations of the data records of these students in the virtual platform (OVY) of the school and thus observe the trends of their performance from 2019 to 2022 in their first period, the data showed that from 2019 to 2022, the sample studied presents weaknesses in mathematics, observing a low average percentage located between 54% to 66%. Subsequently, in the first period 2023, instrumental melodies were applied in the educational context and during the application of mathematical tests and it was observed that this weighting improved. Indeed, the results show that students in the area of mathematics showed progress in the analysis and problem solving with basic operations. Therefore, it is concluded that in the students of the sixth course (604) music was an adequate mediating strategy that contributed to an environment conducive to analysis and resolution of mathematical problems with basic operations, understanding that the melodies used positively influence the learning process of mathematics in sixth grade children.
