INTEGRACIÓN DE LA METODOLOGÍA STEAM EN LA HUERTA ESCOLAR: UNA EXPERIENCIA DE INVESTIGACIÓN – ACCIÓN EN MATEMÁTICAS CON ESTUDIANTES DE GRADO NOVENO

Abstract

The article entitled "Integration of the STEAM Methodology in the School Garden: An Action Research Experience in Mathematics with Ninth-Grade Students" is presented, within which all the necessary and indicated steps were developed to obtain the expected results. This is an action-research methodology, field-based, in order to truly achieve the expected results and address the problematic situation with the researcher in situ. Since these are people, young students, the importance, value, necessity, and relevance are already explicit. Using the STEAM methodology for the necessary improvements in mathematics learning, as well as the use of the school garden as a means to this end, the results obtained were absolutely grateful and relevant, since they even exceeded previously stated expectations. Likewise, it is indicated and highlighted that the knowledge went beyond mathematics, since logical reasoning, spatial comprehension, and other factors were consolidated. Likewise, environmental and protective awareness, which is a current trend and should be cultivated from an early age, has also been fostered by all teachers, who have embraced this innovative and beneficial way of transmitting knowledge.
