Algorithmic procedures for solving linear equations in Basic Education in Ecuador

Los procedimientos algorítmicos para la resolución de ecuaciones lineales en la Educación Básica del Ecuador

Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of a class system based on algorithmic procedures on the teaching-learning process of linear equations in ninth-grade students of Basic Education. Following an educational intervention that combined practical activities and technological resources, a notable progress in the understanding and solving of algebraic problems was evidenced. The applied proposal included surveys, interviews, diagnostic tests, and classroom observations, the results of which demonstrated significant improvements in academic performance and student motivation. The findings underscore the importance of structuring the teaching-learning process through algorithmic approaches that favor autonomous and reflective learning, complemented by constant feedback from teachers.
