Una concepción y modo de gestión didáctica de la matemática en la carrera de ingeniería civil Didactic design and teaching of mathematics to civil engineers’ trainees

Abstract

This paper deals with the improvement of the didactic management of Applied Mathematics in Civil Engineering major, in the interaction of teaching and learning mathematics. The study, by means of applying methods and procedures of research-in-action, attempts to provide an active and professional approach to mathematics in a practical context of civil engineering that contributes to develop a reflexive learning and leads the students to fulfill the objective of integral education. The authors highlight the didactic management of the subject Mathematics I, based on human and professional values as a component of learning content and not only merely learning mathematics. This is expressed in the approach followed, characterized by moving from social to individual issues to achieve a level of command of mathematics satisfying the demands of society.
