In the contemporary world, the development of mathematical skills takes on paramount importance, not only in the academic realm but also in solving everyday and professional problems. The ability to apply logical-mathematical reasoning enables one to interpret information, perform complex operations, and ultimately make informed decisions.
However, various international and national assessments, such as the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the National Plan for Learning Assessment (PLANEA) in Mexico, have revealed a lack of proficiency in these competencies among upper secondary students.
This phenomenon, characterized by a superficial understanding of mathematical concepts without their effective application, represents a significant challenge for the educational system.
In this context, the research conducted by Alicia López Sánchez and Aída González Lara from the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, Mexico, emerges as an innovative initiative to address this issue.
Through the evaluation of a "serious game" implemented with a fuzzy logic-based system, the study aims to strengthen logical-mathematical reasoning in upper secondary students. The research explores the potential of this game, which includes multiple-choice problems, to enhance students' mathematical skills through a playful and participatory methodology.
The study's focus is not only on the practical application of theoretical knowledge but also on analyzing the impact of these digital tools on the mathematical learning process.
