Resumen

Investigaciones actuales muestran que el engagement hacia el aprendizaje de la Matemática Discreta y su rendimiento académico no alcanzan los niveles deseados. Este trabajo pretende identificar las características de los estudiantes y las aulas que influyen en el engagement (EMD) hacia el aprendizaje de la Matemática Discreta y en el rendimiento académico (RMD). La muestra se compone de 728 estudiantes de primer curso agrupados en 40 aulas en la Universidad de Ciencias Informáticas (Cuba). Con el objetivo de conocer las variables de estudiantes y aulas que son predictoras de las variables dependientes se realizó un análisis multinivel multivariado. La autoeficacia percibida, la utilización de las tecnologías y la satisfacción con los materiales de estudio son factores de los estudiantes que explican el EMD y el RMD. A nivel de aula resultan significativas el tipo de actividad, el grado de retroalimentación que se logre y el ambiente de aprendizaje.

Información de financiación

Este trabajo resulta del proyecto de colaboración entre la Asociación Universitaria Iberoamericana de Postgrado (AUIP), la Universidad de Sevilla, la Universidad de Ciencias Informáticas y la Universidad de Granada. El segundo autor agradece a la AUIP la concesión de la beca para cursar el Doctorado Iberoamericano en Educación, con énfasis en Tecnologías Educativas.
