Propuesta para el aprendizaje del Movimiento Armónico Simple con el apoyo de material concreto

Abstract

The main objective of this thesis is to develop a didactic guide proposal to facilitate the learning of physics for second-year high school students. The research is theoretically grounded in the principles of constructivist and meaningful learning, in alignment with the Ecuadorian curriculum. It also addresses the main challenges associated with learning physics at this educational level. The use of concrete materials further facilitates students' connection with real-world situations, promoting a contextualized approach that allows them to apply what they have learned to everyday situations. By working with these materials, students can experiment with concepts such as quantity, measurement, shape, and space in a more intuitive way, which helps strengthen their logical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. This approach aligns with the skills promoted by the Ministry of Education, which include understanding physical processes, developing thinking skills, and applying knowledge to practical situations. Through these materials, the aim is to make students active participants in their own learning, enhancing their ability to understand, apply, and communicate mathematical concepts while building confidence in their skills.
