VALENCIA VALLEJO, Nilson Genaro; SANABRIA RODRIGUEZ, Luis Bayardo y IBANEZ IBANEZ, Jaime. Cognitive and metacognitive processes in problem-solving movement at the level of figures through computational environments. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Tecnol. [online]. 2012, n.31, pp.45-65. ISSN 0121-3814.
The understanding of concepts on geometric figures movement in the plane through computational environments is a topic addressed to geometry learning. Interaction with these environments helps students to develop cognitive and meta cognitive skills when facing problematic situations. This research project studied the understanding of concepts in the context of solving geometry problems from the simple to the complex or vice versa. As a complement to this process, the researchers identified the cognitive and meta cognitive strategies used by the students in their learning process. The results of this research show that students' interaction in solving graphic problems from simple to complex or vice versa, do not show significant differences. In relation to the understanding of concepts it was established that the level of learning achieved by students was higher when they interacted with the computational environment supported by guides. Apparently the teacher´s guidance is a powerful motivator for students to learn.
