Curso de física para biólogos, cambio de perspectiva en su enseñanza

Abstract

In this work didactic principles that guided the organization and processing of materials in a physics course for biologists, according to the current program of the College of Science, UNAM, for that subject are presented. The course was designed based on the results in physics education research, which led to the implementation in the daily dynamics of modeling, contextualization, development of the concrete to the formal and active work of students both individually as in small groups. The results apply to the over 6 semesters (2016-I to 2019-I) with groups both freshmen and repeating students. The total population consists of 128 students from which 70 % are women.
