Resumen

El presente estudio evaluó la eficacia del programa de intervención educativa denominado Jugando con los números-2 en el aprendizaje matemático temprano. Este software incide en el aprendizaje y el perfeccionamiento de las habilidades de razonamiento matemático utilizando un procedimiento basado en la evidencia. Un total de 156 niños y niñas en edad preescolar (edad media = 65.39 meses) los cuales fueron evaluados mediante el instrumento Early Numeracy Test (ENT), un test computarizado para evaluar la competencia matemática temprana. Se utilizó un diseño experimental con grupo control y evaluaciones pre y post-intervención. Se obtuvieron diferencias significativas antes y después de la intervención para el grupo experimental mostrando un incremento en las puntuaciones arrojadas que fueron significativamente superiores a las alcanzadas por el grupo control.  El tamaño del efecto fue también significativo (d = 1.35; y r = .56). Esta intervención educativa utilizando como base un programa computarizado no pretende reemplazar la instrucción tradicional, pero puede ayudar a mejorar el rendimiento de los estudiantes jóvenes en riesgo de desarrollar dificultades de aprendizaje de las matemáticas.
