Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine whether the performance of students measured in the score obtained in the Saber 9 tests, specifically in the area of mathematics, depends on the competencies evaluated by the ICFES, reasoning and argumentation, communication, representation, modeling, and problem posing and solving, at the Policarpa Salavarrieta Educational Institution. The methodology used presents an experimental design under a type of applied research, with a transversal design and quantitative approach. As a tool for the collection of information, a questionnaire was administered, which was designed with questions released by the ICFES in 2015 and was applied to six students of the ninth grade of this institution, which was the sample chosen at random among all the students of this grade. Once the results of the applied experimental design were analyzed, the corresponding conclusions were drawn; that is, it was concluded whether the hypothesis proposed for the experimental design was rejected or accepted, thus providing a solution to the problem.
