Ítem Factors that promote positive attitudes towards mathematics in higher education students(IOP Publishing, 2020) Orozco-Guzmán, M.; Villanueva-Cantillo, J.; Mejía Acuña, F.; Obredor Castro, S; Silvera Malo, E.The purpose of this review article is to explain the importance of understanding attitudes towards teaching and learning mathematics in higher education students. For that, we start from the premise that attitudes are related to performance towards learning mathematics, bearing in mind that what directly influences their success are the feelings of possessing competencies to understand their contents and not the feelings of difficulty towards them. In essence, at first, we describe the different attitudes towards mathematics. Next, we examine how attitudes influence math learning and finally identify the factors that foster positive attitudes toward math. From this, we suggest teaching practices that can be carried out to foster positive attitudes towards mathematics and propose new lines of research in this field.Ítem Impact of a basic mathematics course on the performance of college students in algebra subject(IOP Publishing, 2020) Villanueva-Cantillo, J.; Orozco-Guzmán, M.; Mejía Acuña, F.; Obredor Castro, S.; Silvera Malo, E.A common problem for universities is the lack of knowledge and mathematical skills of new students because this deficiency creates difficulties in their studies throughout their career, which can cause their dropout. The aim of this paper is to describe the impact of a basic mathematics course on the performance of college student in algebra subject. This is a 32-hour course which is developed in 16 sessions in parallel to the algebra classes and is mainly offered to students: a) identified with low performance on mathematics component of national highschool test, and b) remitted by the subject teacher. The main findings are: a) the pass rate for students who attended to more than half of the sessions of the course if 95%, and b) the average grade of the subject tends to increase as with the attendance level to the course of the students. Consequently, these results lead to the conclusion that the course has a positive effect on the students' performance.Ítem Importance of coupling the teaching methodologies of mathematics with the learning styles of digital natives(IOP Publishing, 2019) Orozco Guzmán, M.; Obredor Castro, S.; Mejía Acuña, F.; Silvera Malo, E.The purpose of this article is to explain the importance of adapting the teaching and learning methods of mathematics through the use of ICTs. It is suggested that it is necessary to do so, because at present, we are in the knowledge and information society. For this, we use the literature review as an investigative method, with which we hope to explain the disadvantages of continuing to use traditional methods and the importance of innovating it through reflective practices and collaborative projects. Then, we will address the skills that need to be developed, to adapt students to the demands of today's societies. Similarly, we will explain the characteristics of modern students through the concept of digital natives, to identify what tools and methods can be used in order to facilitate meaningful learning of mathematics. Finally, we will be offering a discussion about the method that should be implemented and what studies exist to support its use. It is concluded that the Tics must be included in the teaching of mathematics because they are necessary to adjust to work and professional life.
