Resumen

La literatura en educación matemática promueve el uso de problemas matemáticos en diferentes contextos, y de ahí que en diferentes programas internacionales de estudios escolares de la asignatura de matemática han incorporado dicha recomendación.
Un número de argumentos teóricos avalan el uso de contexto en problemas de matemáticos, sin embargo, la influencia del contexto y en especial el rol de la familiaridad del contexto en el rendimiento estudiantil es una problemática aún no entendida completamente. Después de una revisión de literatura se argumenta, en este artículo, que alrededor de noventa años de investigación del impacto del contexto de un problema matemático en el rendimiento estudiantil, nada concreto puede aún ser afirmado sobre esta relación; lo anterior, se debe a escasa evidencia en esta relación. Dado que el término contexto posee múltiples significados asociados, el artículo clarifica primeramente este término y lo diferencia de otros. Luego, argumentos teóricos y de investigación empírica son revisados en relación al rol del contexto y la familiaridad del contexto de un problema matemático en el rendimiento estudiantil.
