Adaptive Learning Methodology in the area of mathematics

Abstract

Adaptive Learning is a concept that is not really new, but has recently become very relevant, especially due to the impulse that current technological tools have given it. Several authors have concluded that there is a difficulty in learning mathematics, highlighting that the results conclude that it is a difficult subject for most students. In Colombia, this difficulty is demonstrated in the results of the last fifth grade Saber Tests, where it is evident that 93% of the students are at a level between Insufficient and Minimal in Mathematics competencies. Consequently, using a quantitative research methodology, the academic performance of 51 students under study is analyzed; likewise, the results are analyzed from correlation and regression, which gave as a result that the implementation of an adaptive learning methodology improves the academic performance of students in terms of Geometric-Metric Thinking. Finally, to conclude that there is a causal relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable, since the more the Adaptive Learning Platform is used and worked on, the more the academic results are affected (increase).
