Resumen

Este estudio experimental evaluó los efectos de implementar la prueba de práctica diaria en la resolución de operaciones fundamentales en fracciones como una de las deficiencias de los estudiantes de matemáticas. Además, los resultados de las pruebas de rendimiento revelan que una de las debilidades de los estudiantes es el dominio y la fluidez computacional para resolver problemas que involucran fracciones. El estudio tuvo como objetivo comparar las pruebas diarias y la revisión convencional como una herramienta para dominar los conceptos que involucran fracciones. Esto se realizó a través de la prueba previa y posterior en el rendimiento de los estudiantes antes y después de estar expuestos a las pruebas diarias. Los encuestados se agruparon según la revisión convencional y un grupo expuesto a las pruebas diarias durante ocho semanas. Dos clases distintas; Los grupos experimentales (n = 75) y de control (n = 75) fueron elegidos al azar. Los resultados revelaron que los estudiantes en ambos grupos mostraron un rendimiento por debajo del promedio en la prueba previa, pero manifestaron una diferencia significativa en la media real en la prueba posterior. Ambos grupos mostraron una mejora significativa en la resolución de operaciones fundamentales en fracciones. Además, el logro de los estudiantes bajo la Prueba de práctica diaria mostró un rendimiento superior al promedio y ayudó significativamente a mejorar el dominio de los estudiantes para resolver las operaciones fundamentales en fracciones. El documento concluye que las pruebas diarias tienen un impacto positivo en el dominio de los estudiantes y han mostrado una mejora en sus hábitos de estudio como se evalúa con frecuencia.
