mathematical skills of first year students
of higher education in Chile

teachers of first year of higher education.

Chile
Educational investigation on OER

2. ž Estimate the impact in the use of open
educational resources (OER) in Chile
focusing on first year students in higher
education with respect to the logical-
mathematical skills improvement.
ž Analyze the perception of students and
teachers to use OER to improve learning

3. ž Students whose teachers taught courses
related to mathematics with the help of
the OER are able to develop better
logical-mathematical than those whose
teachers did not use this type of
resources.

4. ž 1. Evaluate the impact in the use of open educational
resources (OER) in relation to the increase in logical-
mathematical students in higher education skills in
the first year.
ž 2. Analyze the factors that explain the success or
failure of the use of OER in relation to the increase in
logical-mathematical skills, and perception of
students and teachers.
ž 3 Develop an educational model for the use of OER in
educational practices based thus teachers'
perceptions of the importance of the use of OER in
relation to the education of the individual student.

5. ž • Analyze how the impact in the use of OER in relation to the increase in logical-
mathematical skills varies with different feature of the student.
ž • Analyze the importance of frequency of access to OER in relation to the increase in
logical- mathematical skills.
ž • Evaluate the impact of the use of OER in terms of student grades of the courses using
these resources.
ž • Evaluate the impact of the use of OER regarding dropout rates of students.
ž • Evaluate the impact of the use of OER in relation to standardized tests.
ž • Analyze the perceptions of students who use OER regarding the increased in logical-
mathematical skills.
ž • Analyze the perceptions of teachers using OER regarding increases in logical-
mathematical skills.
ž • Analyze the perception of teachers using OER in their classrooms regarding the
development of an educational model for the use of OER in educational practices .

6. ž Mixed approach:
• First quantitative methods to estimate the impact
of OER
• Second qualitative methods to better understand
the quantitative results.
