The professional problems of economic education: a challenge in the training of the degree in mathematical education

Abstract

The results that are exposed in the article start from a research that had the purpose to determine the more frequent and general professional problems of the economic education in high schools of the Municipality of Holguín. These are a guide for the improvement of the initial training of the graduate in Mathematics Education.

The results of the application of scientific research instruments reveal insufficiencies in the use of technological resources in the teaching learning process of contents and economic attitudes, which points to limitations in the initial training of the Mathematics Education professional.

The evaluation of the plan of the teaching process of the career, reveals the nonexistence of subjects that are directed to the development of skills in the elaboration and use of technological resources for the support to the teaching in the high school. In response to this problem, a program for the development of virtual learning objects (ova) is proposed, through the Opale technological tool.

The program includes stages, preparation, implementation and systematization, that take place during the initial training of this professional. The final evaluation of the implementation stage, is integrative, covers the instructional, methodological and technological dimensions, is conceived from the opponents, to the virtual objects of economic education that students expose.

The program contributes to the development of general and specific professional mathematical skills, it is recognized, the logical-linguistic training, the modeling, the use of resources for the rationalization of mental and practical work and the formulation and resolution of problems, among others.
