Percepción de estudiantes universitarios sobre su formación académica en matemática y estadística

Abstract

This article shows the results of research to analyze the perceptions of students of the bachelor’s degree in Economics, about learning mathematics, teaching processes, andunderstanding the Spanish language in which the classes are taught. The methodologyused was descriptive, non-experimental, cross-cutting and field. As results, studentsperceive mathematics as tense; but attractive, with teaching processes that are sometimesnot noticeably clear. Successful teaching-learning in mathematics and the disciplines thatderive from it are a challenge regardless of academic level. Studies reflecting therelationship of this situation to variables such as language barriers are considered necessary.
