Propuesta didáctica para la comprensión del concepto de fracción desde la perspectiva fractal

Abstract

During the academic process of the first semester business administration students, it has been possible to show multiple shortcomings in the notions of their basic training, one of them the concept of fraction. The Basic Sciences unit of the Zipaquirá Regional Center of UNIMINUTO has designed, implemented and analyzed a teaching proposal based on the theory of Ron Ritchhart, Mark Church and Karin Morrison, based on the so-called "Thought Routines". The proposal seeks to contribute to the understanding of the notion of fraction using fractal geometry as the central axis, from an exploratory-experimental investigative process. The post-test results are favorable and dependent on the initial diagnosis, as corroborated by a paired samples comparison test and a T-student distribution of the dispersion points related to the answers given by the students in both tests. In addition, the results obtained in the final test demonstrate an effectiveness in the assertiveness of the students, which indicates a positive development in the understanding of the topic covered.
