Propuesta didáctica constructivista para la adquisición de aprendizajes significativos de conceptos en física de fluidos

Abstract

This paper presents a constructivist didactic proposal, based on the performance of experimental laboratories of fluid physics unit, designed by students of bachelor of education in natural and physical sciences at the University of Concepción, Chile. The methodology consists of three steps: i) theoretical and conceptual; ii) experimental and data gathering; and iii) data analysis and results. The proposal was implemented, executed and tested in high school courses at a local college. Hake factor indicates that students had high conceptual learning gain, observed in the increase in average scores. Furthermore, a change was observed in the workflow of students, verified by the increased affinity in the group, as well as by the appearance of a learning transfer network. The formulation of didactic constructivist proposals under experimental methodology proves to be relevant in the teaching-learning process of future science teachers.
