3. Relationship between emotional and cognitive in teaching and mathematics learning

Abstract

Teaching training is a key in individual’s education. However, the student makes plain their rejection of it. This descriptive research inquired into the relationship between the affective and the cognitive in teaching and learning Mathematics with students of all-round education at Instituto Universitario de Tecnología Delfín Mendoza, and to propose didactic strategies with affective elements, combined with all-round pedagogy postulates. Interviews, questionnaires and direct observation were considered to search data. 40 students and 6 teachers from the IUTEDELTA all-round education immersed in a Mathematical II group were the sample of this research. It was concluded that strategies such as problem solution, news usage, TICs, and didactic resource production can be learning motivators and achieve a positive attitudinal change. Among the recommendations it stands out that the teacher training on all-round education requires formal Mathematics and its didactic, where the graduate from this career has attitudes and aptitudes to teaching Mathematics, what demands permanent training on universities responsible for preparing primary school teachers.
