Cooperative learning in mathematics, pedagogical resource in classrooms with excessive students

Abstract

The discussion about the relationship between the learning of mathematics and the pedagogical resource used, in Ecuador, in addition to the problems related to the learning of this science, is the overcrowding of high school students, which has led to a search for alternatives as the use of cooperative learning, for this reason the present investigation was developed whose objective was to determine the acceptance of the use of cooperative learning in mathematics as a pedagogical resource in classrooms with excessive students. Methodologically it was quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional. We worked with a census sample of 206 students in the tenth year of Basic General Education, to whom a questionnaire was applied. As a result, it was obtained that the acceptance of the use of cooperative learning in mathematics as a pedagogical resource is high. Concluding that these students have a high disposition to learn mathematics cooperatively.
