Resumen

Este trabajo se centra en procesos de traducción de problemas gráficos de comparación multiplicativa a representación verbal y simbólica. Pedimos a 89 estudiantes del primer curso de educación secundaria que inventaran un problema que se ajustara a un diagrama y que escribieran una ecuación que integrara las relaciones del diagrama. Los dos procesos de traducción se han mostrado difíciles para los estudiantes, provocando diversidad de respuestas. El análisis conjunto de las respuestas reveló que la competencia de los estudiantes en el proceso de invención no es independiente de la traducción algebraica.

Interpretation of multiplicative comparison diagrams by secondary school students

This work focuses on translation processes of graphic multiplicative comparison problems to verbal and symbolic representation. We asked 89 students of the first year of secondary school to invent a problem that fits a diagram and to write an equation that integrates the relations of the diagram. The two translation processes have proved difficult for students, resulting diversity of responses. The analysis of the responses revealed that the competence of the students in the process of posing is not independent of the algebraic translation.
