ALMIDON ORTIZ, Carlos Alcides et al. Evaluation of the results of the 2024 Cañete mathematics and reality contest: An analysis of the gaps. e-Rev. Multidiscip. Saber [online]. 2024, vol.2, e-RMS01222024.  Epub 13-Dic-2024. ISSN 2960-2467.  https://doi.org/10.61286/e-rms.v2i.95.

The "I Mathematics and Cañetana Reality Contest 2024" was carried out with the aim of evaluating the academic performance of high school students in mathematics and analyzing the existing gaps in the Cañete region. The study, with a quantitative approach and descriptive design, included 137 participants from various educational institutions, selected by open invitation. A structured questionnaire, validated by experts, was used, which addressed both mathematics performance and aspects related to the cultural identity and socioeconomic context of the students. The results showed a heterogeneous performance, with an overall average of 65%. The competencies evaluated revealed that the students stood out in geometry (87%) and in the Cañetana reality section (94%), while the areas of arithmetic and mathematical reasoning presented lower performances (65.30% and 67%, respectively). In addition, significant differences in performance were identified depending on the grade and socioeconomic status of the contestants. These findings highlight the need to implement innovative pedagogical methodologies that connect mathematical learning with the local cultural reality, which could increase students' motivation and interest. Likewise, the importance of addressing educational gaps to improve mathematics teaching in the region is highlighted, contributing to educational development and the empowerment of students through meaningful and contextualized learning.
