Socio-educational characteristics are associated with the choice of operation in additive questions and in multiplicative questions

Abstract

The term socio-educational constitutes something that at the same time relates education and society, in which it extends to any dimensions that include these two aspects of the individual. Therefore, to guide the research conducted in this thesis cut, the following guiding research question was created: Do socio-educational factors interfere in the process of choosing the operation in additive or multiplicative issues? To answer this guiding question, the objective of the research was to analyze whether the student's socio-educational characteristics interfere in the choice of operation to solve additive and multiplicative questions. The instrument used to perform this analysis if there is a statistical association between the objects studied was the Chi-Square association test. The data obtained by the socio-educational questionnaire processed through the association test indicated that there was a statistical association between the choice of operation in questions and factors referring to the student's relationship with mathematics and its study.
