Abstract
Este trabajo presenta una revisión del estado actual de interacción entre investigación en ciencias cognitivas y aprendizaje de la matemática en Argentina. En primer lugar se describen los lineamientos principales de los currículos educativos vigentes, en relación con el aprendizaje de la matemática. Luego se presentan los resultados obtenidos en el país en pruebas estandarizadas internacionales y algunas propuestas de investigación destinadas a mejorar tales resultados. Por último, el artículo expone el estado de escasa conexión actual entre la investigación en ciencias cognitivas y educación matemática y presenta algunas propuestas recientes que buscan avanzar en dicha conexión.
This article is a review of the current state of interaction between research into the cognitive sciences and mathematics learning in Argentina. It will firstly outline the main guidelines of Argentina’s current educational curricula in regard to the learning of mathematics. Secondly, the results Argentina obtained in international standardized tests are described and research proposals aimed at improving these results are put forward. Finally, the article explores the current lack of interaction between research into cognitive sciences and mathematical education and presents recent proposals that seek to bridge these two areas.
