Efecto de los cursos propedéuticos en matemáticas. Estudio de caso: Estudiantes de primer semestre de administración de empresas de la Uniagustiniana

Abstract

This article shows the analysis of the effect that the implementation of a preparatory course in mathematics has had on students, in e-learning modality, for the career of business administration at Uniagustiniana. The research was developed as a case study, with a concurrent triangulation design, taking advantage of each method; characterization tests, diagnostic test, qualitative, quantitative evaluations were implemented, and a final survey was developed to measure the course’s effect. For the data analysis, the test results were triangulated, the participation of students, the experience in the development of the levels and the test results. At the end, despite the academic shortcomings of the students, they were able to apply the course to their university classes, and the didactics used increased their interest in mathematics as a contribution to their professional training.
