Resumen
Este artículo presenta un nuevo paradigma para el estudio de las Matemáticas y Ciencias en la educación primaria y secundaria. Este paradigma ha sido presentado a alumnos de Magisterio de cuatro campus universitarios (n=242) a través de un taller en el que se presenta una herramienta taxonómica para la descripción de problemas matemáticos en primaria y secundaria (K-12) con el propósito de realizar un estudio cualitativo de los contenidos escolares en matemáticas. Esta herramienta permite la identificación, descomposición y descripción de los problemas Tipo-A, que caracterizan los problemas de currículum tradicional, y de los problemas Tipo-B del nuevo paradigma. El taller finaliza con una encuesta que recoge la evaluación del currículum actual y del nuevo paradigma propuesto. Las encuestas de este estudio revelan que de acuerdo con la mayoría de los participantes: (i) el currículum de matemáticas K-12 está diseñado para enseñar a los estudiantes, exclusivamente, la resolución de problemas Tipo-A; (ii) los problemas matemáticos de la vida real responden a problemas Tipo-B; y (iii) el actual currículum de matemáticas debe modificarse para incluir este nuevo paradigma.
