Habilidades Viso perceptivas y Competencias para el Aprendizajede las Matemáticas en niños de 6 a 8 años de edad que asisten la Unidad Educativa Particular “El Camino” en el periodo enero - junio 2025

Abstract

This report examines the study of visuoperceptual skills and mathematics learning competencies in children aged 6 to years. The study population comprised students from first to fourth grades of General Basic Education. A correlational methodology with a non-experimental descriptive design was employed. The Rey Complex Figure Recognition Test and the EvaMath test were used as assessment tools. The results, analyzed using Pearson correlation, revealed a strong relationship between the time to complete the mathematics tasks and the performance on these tasks, with a correlation coefficient of .737. Children who demonstrated slower problem-solving speed in mathematical exercises also exhibited lower performance in visual processing. Additionally, difficultiesin visuoperceptual speed, logical reasoning, calculation, and memory tasks were associated with challenges in solving mathematical problems that rely on perception and visual memory processes. These difficulties negatively impact academic performance and affect attention, organization, planning, and motor coordination.
