Abstract:
The purpose of this research project was to describe and explain the effect on student performance by promoting a metacognitive process in parallel to the knowledge of the discipline in the classroom and seeking to contribute to the comprehensive training of the student. The methodology was action research, in order to obtain a good approximation to reality by considering the different perspectives of the participants involved in the study. An intervention was carried out using two instruments, a survey that gave a descriptive assessment of the metacognitive process applied before and after the intervention. The other instrument is a checklist implemented as a teaching tool in mathematical problem solving activities. The study was carried out with students of the first semester of the Higher School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, unit: Culhuacan, of the academic program: Communications and Electronics Engineering. The subject of differential and integral calculus was taken as the core axis for the construction of knowledge. Among the results found were: a better construction of mathematical knowledge by the student, the student's reflective self-assessment for continuous improvement and awareness of the need to grasp a metacognitive process. It can be concluded that, to contribute to the comprehensive training of the student from the discipline, it is necessary to implement teaching and learning strategies that articulate the cognitive, affective and metacognitive dimensions.
