Omschrijving
Samenvatting:There is evidence that project-based learning is an effective teaching approach to build competencies, develop critical and creative thinking and improve student motivation. This work presents the findings of a case study in a high school in Puebla (Mexico) that introduced project-based learning in a geometry and trigonometry course. Adjustments were made to the approaches in the syllabus set by the Comprehensive Reform of Higher Secondary Education (RIEMS, in Spanish), both in the activities proposed and the method of assessment. A problem situation was devised for the students to solve, and the didactic sequence of the project, material for activities and a performance matrix to assess competency development were designed. The study results show that students experienced more interesting and meaningful learning in geometry and trigonometry and were more motivated to learn mathematics.
