The Numerical transcoding process and The Understanding of place value: A weak empirical and theoretical relationship
Abstract
Resumen
Esta investigación explora la relación entre la comprensión del valor de posición y el proceso de transcodificación numérica del formato verbal hablado al formato arábigo. Participaron 22 niños del grado primero de primaria de un colegio privado de Cali. Se presentó una tarea de dictado de numerales y tres tareas de comprensión del valor de posición. Se realizó un análisis del logro en función del acierto y el error y un análisis correlacional entre las tareas de valor de posición y la tarea de transcodificación numérica. Adicionalmente, se realizó un análisis de redes de vínculos. Se encontraron diferencias en el desempeño de los niños entre la tarea de dictado y las tareas de comprensión del valor de posición, señalando que no es necesaria la comprensión del valor de posición para la escritura de numerales a partir del dictado.
Abstract
This research explores the relationship between the understanding of place value and the numeral transcoding process from verbal speech to Arabic format. The study involved 22 first grade children at a private school in downtown Cali, who performed one numeral dictation task and three understanding place value tasks. We performed an achievement analysis of tasks and a correlational analysis that values the relationship between the tasks of understanding place value and number transcoding. Additionally, we performed an analysis of the network of links. The performance of the children at completing tasks of dictation, and their performance at completing the tasks of understanding positive value yielded results that differed significantly from each other. It was found that the success in the number transcoding process did not necessarily reflect an equally successful outcome of the tasks of understanding place value.
