Guías de prácticas de laboratorio virtuales para el aprendizaje de MRU, MRUV y caída libre

Abstract

When we deal with issues of experimental sciences within the field of education, especially in the learning of students in Physics, it is important to take into account the prior knowledge that students have, as well as the importance of being able to interact with physical phenomena or everyday situations that arise, in such a way that it is possible to relate the theoretical part with the practical or experimental part. This degree work proposes the use of virtual laboratory practices using digital resources such as TIC´s and virtual simulators, in such a way that they allow a more meaningful learning of linear kinematics topics such as MRU, MRUA and Free fall, as well as increasing the interest and participation of students in the learning process and in this way helping to reduce the difficulties that arise when relating and understanding different concepts of linear kinematics, a problem that was evidenced by moment of obtaining the results of a survey carried out among first-cycle students of the Pedagogy of Experimental Sciences at the University of Cuenca. Similarly, a bibliographic search was carried out on the theoretical foundations, the difficulties in learning Physics and on the use of information and communication technologies within education. Obtaining as a result the approach of the proposal and the virtual laboratory practice guide to be used in first- year high school students who are about to address the topics of linear kinematics.
