Characterization of the current state of the teaching-learning process of Calculus I in the Computer Engineering career of the University of Pinar del Río "Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca" / Caracterización del estado actual del proceso de enseñanza-aprendiza
Abstract
The current development in the field of science, such as the increasingly growing introduction of technologies in processes, both productive and educational, make the training of engineering students in Cuban higher education more demanding, where the role played by the basic sciences and especially the differential and integral calculus of functions of a real variable (calculus I) is fundamental in the achievement of such purposes. The research was motivated by the need to improve the process of teaching - learning the Calculus I in forming Informatics' Engineers at the University of Pinar of the Río "Hermanos Saiz Montes de Oca", so it is proposed as objective, to characterize the current process of teaching and learning Calculus I for students of the Engineering Computer Science at the University of Pinar of the Río "Hermanos Saiz Montes de Oca". It was developed, based on a Dialectical Materialistic approach, using research methods and techniques of a quantitative and qualitative nature. A survey was applied to 31 students of first year of the the career Computer Engineering, to 10 teachers graduated from the career which are part of the collective teaching of it, and eight teachers of the department of mathematics . It is noted that the process teaching - learning of Calculus I, from conception as a process and from the role that develop subjects participants (teachers and students), does not promote productive, creative and activity developer of the student depending on the resolution problems that contribute to the solution of problems of the profession.
