S. Couto, Maria João Demotivation secondary education mathematics. Desmotivación educación secundaria didáctica de las matemáticas. Academic failure is a concern in the education community; more taxing subjects therefore deserve special consideration. The primary objective of this study was to identify and analyze factors of adolescent demotivation in mathematics in high school. This study followed a qualitative approach, using an introspective process based on teachers’ perceptions. To this end, 70 mathematics teachers from Portugal were interviewed, of whom 51 were female and 19 male. Content analysis was performed on the different narratives obtained. The results and conclusions show that the main constituents of demotivation are inadequate prior education and certain traditional teaching activities used by mathematics teachers. A negative influence from the environment should also be noted. El fracaso académico constituye una preocupación de la comunidad educativa. Por ello, asignaturas que cuentan con circunstancias poco favorables merecen una especial atención. El objetivo central de esta investigación es identificar y analizar los componentes de la desmotivación en los adolescentes en la materia de matemáticas en la Educación Secundaria. Este estudio se desarrolló desde un enfoque cualitativo, a través de un procedimiento introspectivo a partir de la percepción del profesorado. Para ello, se han realizado 70 entrevistas a docentes de Matemáticas de Portugal, de ellos 51 son mujeres y 19 varones. A las distintas narrativas obtenidas se le ha aplicado un análisis de contenido. Los resultados y conclusiones ponen de manifiesto, como principales integrantes de la desmotivación, la insuficiente formación del alumnado, así como algunas dinámicas tradicionales de enseñanza utilizadas por los docentes de Matemáticas. Además, cabe añadir una influencia negativa del ambiente. 2018-09-07 2021-06-03T03:08:40Z 2021-06-03T03:08:40Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1650 10.24320/redie.2018.20.3.1650 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6288 spa https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1650/1667 https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1650/1675 https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1650/1887 Derechos de autor 2019 Revista Electrónica de Investigación Educativa text/html application/pdf application/xml REDIE es una publicación del Instituto de Investigación y Desarrollo Educativo (IIDE).
