| Abstract (English): |
The purpose of this project was, in the first place, to verify if freshmen students, at the Universidad del Valle, presented similar comprehension problems as those reported by Tall & Vinner (1981) and Vinner (1991) in relation to the concept of function and what was the evolution of these problems at the end of the first academic semester. Secondly, if Mathematica, could contribute positively to the elaboration of a teaching proposal to teach the concept of function in the high school - university transition, which would aid students in overcoming these problems. The project was carried out with physics majors at the Universidad del Valle who were taking a basic mathematics course. This course could be considered a transitional level course from high school to university mathematics. The project obtained positive answers to both questions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

El desarrollo de este proyecto tiene que ver con nuestro interés por comprender y ayudar a resolver los problemas de formación matemática que presentan los estudiantes de secundaria que ingresan a carreras técnicas y científicas en la universidad colombiana, en particular, a la Universidad del Valle. En este contexto, las dificultades en la comprensión del concepto de función son particularmente notables y, dada la importancia matemática del concepto, bastante influyentes en lo altos porcentajes de fracaso estudiantil que se presentan en los primeros cursos universitarios de matemáticas. Reelaborando ([1]) planteamientos de Tall y Vinner ([2], [3]) relativos a problemas de comprensión conceptual hemos acuñado el termino problemática Tall - Vinner para referirnos a los siguientes problemas: [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
