abstract = {Nowadays, education requires changes in the teaching and learning processes, through
the implementation of innovative and motivating pedagogical actions, owing to the existing needs
in society. Education, owing to the current needs of society, requires changes in the teaching and
learning processes through the implementation of innovative and motivating pedagogical actions.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the collaborative method, based
on the Harry Potter theme, with respect to the traditional method in the first year of Obligatory
Secondary Education for the learning of geometric figures in the subject of mathematics. For this
purpose, a quasi-experimental, quantitative, descriptive, and correlational study has been designed,
using a standardized questionnaire as a technique to collect information. The sample is composed of
236 students from the first year of Obligatory Secondary Education distributed in eight groups (four
control and four experimental) from a public high school in the city of Cádiz (Spain). The tests carried
out show that collaborative learning generates improvements in the attitudes and mathematical
dimensions. Therefore, the collaborative method, developed by means of the Harry Potter theme
for students in the first year of Compulsory Secondary Education in the subject of mathematics,
causes a better attitude of the student towards the teaching and learning process. Furthermore, it
facilitates the acquisition of mathematical contents related to geometry, which does not directly affect
the students’ grades because, although those of the experimental group are better than those obtained
by the control group, the differences between the two are minimal.},
