Abstract
Currently, one of the greatest challenges are the difficulties generated by mathematical learning in primary and secondary school students. In recent years, research on mathematical learning and cognition has increased due to the personal and social consequences of failure in mathematics learning. One of the researching topics emphasizes the convenience of carry out classroom interventions incorporating the cognitive processes involved in mathematical learning, and making use of innovative strategies such as the open calculation based on numbers (ABN). The current study aims to analyze the impact of an online training program for the implementation of the ABN methodology in the third cycle of Primary Education and the first two academic years of Secondary Education. The project is divided into four stages: (1) Schools’ choice; (2) Online teachers training program; (3) Empirical study to analyze the effectiveness of the ABN method; and (4) Transfer of results and design of materials and mathematics educational APP. Theresults obtained in the first stage are presented below, analyzing the impact of the training program and adding manipulative resources by several mathematical contents. The participants of the training program belong to the School system form Cádiz province and were incidentally selected. The sample is composed of a total of 40 participants (19 researchers, 3 expert teachers in ABN, 18 teachers and 3 master’s degree students in Secondary Education). The results of the teacher training and classroom practices show the need for teacher training for the incorporation of alternative dynamics in the upper grades of Primary Education. It is expected to open new research lines based on the implementation of programs and workshops for the implementation of innovative strategies in schools.
