The teaching-learning of decimal numbers is necessary to develop advanced mathematical skills, such as estimation and multiplicative calculus, which are fundamental in solving complex problems. The methodology used was based on the mixed research approach and the explanatory level, in a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with the objective of proposing and validating a didactic strategy to improve the learning of addition and subtraction of decimal numbers in students of eighth year of General Basic Education of the Fiscal Educational Unit “Luis Alfredo Noboa Icaza”, Guayaquil, Ecuador, in the school year 2024-2025. The initial diagnosis revealed that most of the students presented significant difficulties, especially in the resolution of applied problems and in the interpretation of situations involving these concepts. The validation by experts showed that the didactic strategy designed is adequate in terms of objectives, structure, and applicability. The evaluations obtained reflect a solid strategy, although with areas for improvement related to the integration of more self-evaluation mechanisms. The quasi-experiment confirmed the hypothesis, showing an increase in high and very highperformance levels, as well as a notable reduction in low performance, which demonstrates that the strategy favored the development of key mathematical skills, with a particularly positive impact on students with difficulties.

This research aims to evaluate the improvement of proprioception capacity in 24 male subjects, aged 10 years, by applying an intervention strategy and proposing a specific competence within the physical education school program for the 4th grade in Romania. An experimental group (EG, n=12) underwent an ameliorative intervention for 14 weeks, having two lessons per week, while a control group (CG, n=12) followed the usual football training program at the club sport. Both EG and CG subjects were evaluated, under similar conditions, using four tests: Body Sway, Flamingo, March in place -- MIP and Circle, using scientific equipment OptoJump Next and GYko Microgate. The statistical analysis compared the results of the two groups, using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test to verify the normality of the distributions, and to verify the significance of the statistical differences, the Independent T-test and the Mann Whitney U-test were used. The results revealed statistically significant differences in three of the four applied tests, confirming the general efficiency of the experimental program. These findings support the possibility of optimizing the contents of the school physical education program to support the development of proprioception and body awareness in primary school children. The use of high-tech equipment, such as GyKo Microgate and OptoJump Next, can provide standardized data on neural processing of sensory information, thus contributing to a more accurate and efficient approach to school physical education.

Didactic strategies combine all the elements of the educational process, being a way of combining and chronologically organizing the set of methods and means chosen to achieve certain didactic objectives. This way,, the didactic strategy is expressed in organic units of methods, procedures, educational means and ways of organizing/achieving the learning process, i.e. head-on, in groups and individually [Potolea, D. The teacher and the strategies of learning management. Bucharest: Academy Publishing House, 1989, p. 146]. From the given perspective, we would like to mention that the didactic strategy unifies, integrates and brings together learning tasks with learning situations, creating a complex and logical system structured by means, methods, materials and other educational resources aimed at achieving certain objectives, which constitute a extremely necessary aspect in any pedagogical action, which finds its central place in the educational process. This is due to the fact that the design and organization of a lesson takes place in close connection with the strategic decision of the teaching staff and, therefore, it is designed as a complex didactic scenario, in which the actors of the educational act - of teachinglearning are involved, the conditions in which it is carried out, the objectives and the proposed methods. This way, the strategy determines the most appropriate, logical and efficient methodical itinerary for approaching a concrete teaching-learning situation, avoiding some errors, risks and unwanted events that may appear in the activity of the teaching staff.

The formation of students is integral to education. Strengthening critical thinking and reasoning are essential for the professionals that today's world needs. For this reason, the authors of this article applied Pólya's methodology, an initiative based on observing students' difficulties when facing mathematical problems. The present study is part of the qualitative and quantitative research paradigm and the action research methodology. In this study, the inquiry process was inductive, the sample is non-probabilistic, and the data interpretation strategy is descriptive. As a case study, six students were enrolled onto a differential equations course at the Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga. A didactic process was designed using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in five sequences that address first-order differential equation applications. As a result of the pedagogical intervention, problem-solving skills were strengthened. All this was based on asking the right questions, repeated reading, identifying and defining variables, mathematization, communication, and decomposing the problem into subproblems. This research study seeks to set a precedent in the Latin American region that will be the basis for future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The care and preservation of the environment is a task that corresponds to every living being that inhabits the planet, for this reason, from all sectors, human beings must undertake actions to fulfill this purpose. In the educational field, the commitment is much greater, educational communities are larger groups than any company in the world, which is why educational centers must implement strategies that allow motivating the execution of actions for the care of the environment. The present work intends to fulfill this task, whose main objective was to design a didactic strategy for the use of virtual games to arouse the interest of students in learning environmental education in the eighth year of San Jacinto del Búa educational unit, using a mixed approach and a non-experimental design, through the reception of a survey addressed to eighth-year students of basic education, teachers of the area of natural sciences and an interview with the main director of the institution. These data were tabulated applying statistical processes. The representative results are the deficient application of projects with video game strategies in micro-curricular planning by teachers. It can also be seen that students, teachers and managers know the theme with the partial absence of practice, concluding that the implementation of a didactic strategy based on video games significantly favors compliance with the proposed theme, due to the motivation that students feel when executing it.

The present investigation of mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) has as general objective to diagnose the current state of the didactic strategies used by the teachers to strengthen the significant learning in the fifth-grade students of the Cruz del Norte Educational Unit. For this reason, the survey technique applied to students was used. Likewise, an interview was applied to teachers to identify strategies and establish a practical solution focused on brain gymnastics. Finally, the data collection instruments were validated by an expert in pedagogy and for their application they were socialized with the authorities of the Educational Unit, ensuring the anonymity and confidentiality of the data obtained. As a result, it was found that, when carrying out the activities in class, 36% of the students consider that they are sometimes motivated to participate. On the other hand, 44% of students indicated that the activities implemented by teachers are sometimes creative. In conclusion, brain gymnastics allows modifying neural structures to increase concentration, creativity and problem solving. In addition, they indicated that only some activities carried out in class are creative and it was found that teachers use traditional education. Given the above, a proposal for a didactic strategy based on brain gymnastics was designed. That is, coordination exercises were proposed through the methodological theoretical justification, and these were structured in the planning, justification, and control-monitoring phases.
