Uso de la Papiroflexia como objeto de aprendizaje para potenciar la destreza, habilidad creativa y cognitiva de las diferentes áreas de la Geometría Plana

Abstract

This is a field research carried out at Automotive Engineering School at ESPOCH. The objective was to promote skill, creative and cognitive ability of students in order to plan and design activities that are related to areas of Geometrics learning, lines perpendiculars, angles, and son on by the means of origami technique. Paper folding is a didactic resource of first-rate especially in Geometrics. This method has to deal with constructivism and significant learning, pedagogical models of Bruner and Ausubel that are appropriate for teaching Fiat Geometry. The research results say that: more than the 50% of teachers do not use learning object as didactics tools. The use of origami in Flat Geometry promotes significant learning in more than 90% of students. There is a good opinion of teachers related to the use of origami as a didactics tool to promote skill, creative and cognitive ability of students, and contribute to better academic performance of students and low the failing percentage. Research hypothesis was proved with a higher probability than 0, 95 than null hypothesis is true. Number of students who fail depends on the method applied. The failing frequency is lower than 10% when origami is used and without this is 40%. It is recommended that Geometry teachers should apply origami as a strategy that promotes students group work.
