Abstract

The purpose of the research was to determine the scientific arguments that are developed with the way students learn and how teachers teach in the area of mathematics. In this sense, the objective was to identify the learning styles in the teaching of mathematics in the Cinco de Mayo Educational Unit of the Chone Canton in the year 2023. The problem of the study arises from the need that teachers do not plan accordingly. according to the styles that students have to learn and that are often not considered when the Teacher plans his classes. The methodology was based on the quantitative approach, because it allowed the recovery, analysis and assessment of information; A type of bibliographic-documentary and field research was applied, the methods used are inductive-deductive, analytical-synthetic and statistical. The techniques we used in the research were the checklist to analyze the micro-curricular planning designs of the teachers, the interview to identify the methodologies for student learning and the observation guide to evaluate the professional knowledge of the teachers.
