Neuroeducation in the Learning of Linear Programming Models in the Systems Engineering Career

Abstract

In Systems Engineering, the subject of Operations Research requires as a basis the Construction of Linear Programming Models. The aim of this research was to find the effect of neuroeducation in the construction of these models. It was an applied study of explanatory scope, of quasi-experimental design with 60 students (control group) and 60 students (experimental group). The data collection instrument was an evaluation rubric based on the stages of the construction of the models, being validated by experts and with a Cronbach reliability of 0.8. Neurodidactic strategies were applied for the integrated activation of higher cognition devices (attention, memory, motivation, and emotion). A p value of 0.00 was obtained with Mann Whitney U, so it was concluded that the use of neuroeducation strategies was significant, obtaining a better construction of linear programming models.
