Introducción. El estudio pretende investigar los errores cometidos por los alumnos de primer curso de Educación Secundaria en la simplificación de expresiones algebraicas.
Método. Un total de 265 alumnos del primer curso de Educación Secundaria fueron seleccionados para este estudio. Se seleccionaron, a través de entrevista, 10 alumnos de cada uno de los grupos de hablidad alta, habilidad media y habilidad baja. Se administró un instrumento con 40 ítems a los participantes para investigar los errorer en la simplificación de expresiones algebraicas.
Resultados. Este estudio identifica 12 tipos de errores. Se han comparado los errores cometidos por los estudiantes de habilidad alta, media y baja.
Conclusión. Todos los errores pueden ser resultado de: (i) intereferencia con el nuevo aprendizaje; (ii) dificultad para operar con enteros negatives; (iii) conceptos erróneos de expresiones algebraicas; y (iv) errores en la aplicación de reglas.
