Resumen
La presente investigación se centró en analizar la influencia del autoconcepto, las actitudes y creencias y los hábitos de estudio, en la aprobación en matemática de estudiantes de noveno año de un colegio público diurno de la Dirección Regional de Educación de Heredia.
El estudio se enfocó en identificar características comunes y diferencias entre los estudiantes que aprobaron y los que reprobaron la asignatura relacionadas con los factores antes mencionados, con el fin de determinar elementos influyentes en su rendimiento académico.
En una primera etapa de recolección de datos, se analizó el registro de calificaciones de los estudiantes participantes para describir su rendimiento académico en la materia. Posteriormente, se validó y aplicó un cuestionario en el cual se plantearon cuestionamientos a los estudiantes, relacionados con autoconcepto, actitudes y creencias y hábitos de estudio, con el propósito de caracterizarlos e identificar la relación existente entre estos elementos y su rendimiento académico. Finalmente, se identificaron algunos casos atípicos entre los estudiantes participantes y se les realizó una entrevista con el fin de obtener más información y profundizar en ellos.
Una vez analizada toda la información recolectada, se determinó, entre las conclusiones de este estudio, que la mayoría de los estudiantes que aprobaron se consideran hábiles en matemática, confían en sus capacidades, son perseverantes y se sienten motivados porque la asignatura es de su agrado y les resulta fácil de aprender, son participativos durante la clase y son ordenados a la hora de trabajar. Además, obtuvieron una valoración positiva en todas las variables en estudio.
En cuanto a los estudiantes que reprobaron, se determinó que la mayor parte de ellos no muestra confianza en sí mismos ya que la matemática les resulta difícil y no les gusta; por el contrario, expresan sentirse desanimados, estresados, nerviosos y angustiados a la hora de estudiar y realizar exámenes. Además, obtuvieron una valoración negativa en la mayoría de las variables en estudio.
Estos resultados manifiestan la necesidad de efectuar recomendaciones a los diferentes involucrados en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de la asignatura. Por ejemplo, buscar estrategias para mejorar la percepción que tienen los estudiantes sobre la matemática, aumentar sus niveles de autoestima y confianza en sí mismos, fomentar buenos hábitos de estudio, entre otras.
Finalmente, incentivar la realización de más investigaciones sobre temas relacionados con la influencia de los factores internos del estudiante, en su rendimiento académico.
The present investigation focused on analyzing the influence of self-concept, attitudes and beliefs, and study habits, in the mathematics approval of ninth-year students of a public day school of the Regional Directorate of Education of Heredia. The study focused on identifying common characteristics and differences between the students who passed and those who failed the course related to the aforementioned factors, in order to determine influential elements in their academic performance. In a first stage of data collection, the qualification record of the participating students was analyzed to describe their academic performance in the subject. Subsequently, a questionnaire was validated and applied in which questions were raised to the students, related to self-concept, attitudes and beliefs, and study habits, with the purpose of characterizing them and identifying the relationship between these elements and their academic performance. Finally, some atypical cases were identified among the participating students and they were interviewed in order to obtain more information and delve into them. Once all the information collected was analyzed, it was determined, among the conclusions of this study, that the majority of students who passed consider themselves skilled in mathematics, trust their abilities, persevere, and feel motivated because they like the subject. and they find it easy to learn, they are participatory during class and they are orderly when working. In addition, they obtained a positive assessment in all the variables under study. Regarding the students who failed, it was determined that most of them do not show self-confidence since mathematics is difficult for them and they do not like it; on the contrary, they express feeling discouraged, stressed, nervous and anguished when studying and taking exams. In addition, they obtained a negative evaluation in most of the variables under study. These results show the need to make recommendations to the different parties involved in the teaching and learning process of the subject. For example, looking for strategies to improve students' perception of mathematics, increase their levels of self-esteem and self-confidence, encourage good study habits, among others. Finally, encourage more research on issues related to the influence of internal student factors on their academic performance.
