Abstract

The present study is defined as research in progress under the feasible project modality supported by the Action-Research method. The general objective is to implement an action plan based on dialogic strategies to improve algebraic learning in 5th-year students at Liceo Bolivariano Libertador (Barinas, Venezuela). The addressed problem lies in the students' persistent difficulty in understanding abstract concepts and the prevalence of rote learning. Methodologically, the study is framed within a positivist paradigm with a quantitative approach, using a quasi-experimental field design. The population consists of 30 students. The study phases include: diagnosis (through knowledge tests and observation), design of dialogic strategies (Socratic questioning, argumentation), implementation, and evaluation. Preliminary and expected results point to a decrease in conceptual errors regarding variable handling and a significant improvement in mathematical modeling capacity, validating dialogue as a cognitive tool for knowledge construction.
