Problem-solving strategies program to strengthen divergent thinking in mathematics in high school students. uct [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.especial, pp.67-76.  Epub 30-Dez-2024.

This study investigates the value of developing divergent thinking skills for tackling mathematical learning challenges. Employing a quantitative, applied approach with a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 50 students divided into a control and an experimental group through non-probabilistic sampling. A validated divergent thinking questionnaire, assessed by expert judgment, was used to gather data. While the pre-test results indicated limited problem-solving skills beyond acquiring the final answer, the post-test revealed significant improvements in problem comprehension, coherent reasoning, and analytical solution proposals. These findings suggest that implementing problem-solving strategies can effectively address mathematical challenges and enhance understanding of related concepts.
