El presente estudio establece el estilo de pensamiento matemático predominante que utilizan los estudiantes con talento académico en la resolución de problemas matemáticos. Los estilos de pensamiento son preferencias por parte de los sujetos en la forma de expresar las habilidades frente a una tarea matemática, en este caso, visual, formal e integrado. En el marco de un estudio ex post facto retrospectivo de grupo único, se evaluó a un total de 99 estudiantes pertenecientes a un programa académico de apoyo al talento con el cuestionario Estilos de Pensamiento Matemático de Borromeo-Ferri. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes declararon orientarse hacia el estilo de pensamiento integrado, que supone el uso de simbología y representaciones verbales junto con expresiones visuales en la resolución de los ejercicios matemáticos, así como una significativa orientación a abo...

This study explores the predominant mathematical thinking style that students with academic talent used in solving mathematical problems. Thinking styles are preferences by subjects in the way of expressing mathematical skills against a task, in this case, visual, formal and integrated. We assessed 99 students from an academic support talent program, in a retrospective ex post facto study with only one group. We administered the questionnaire mathematical thinking styles of Borromeo-Ferri and determined that these students exhibited mostly an integrated style of thinking, which involves the use of symbols and verbal representations with visual expressions in solving mathematical exercises. They also show a strong orientation to address the problems of combined mode, which involves considering them as a whole at a time.
