Recursos didácticos para el aprendizaje de la Hidrostática en la Carrera de Pedagogía de las Ciencias Experimentales de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

In this degree work, a didactic proposal is presented for the learning of Hydrostatics based on Problem Based Learning (PBL), specifically focused on the following topics: Pascal´s Principle, Application of the principle of communicanting vessels and the Siphon Principle for the third cycle students during the period March 2024 – August 2024. In order to analyze the relevance, a study with a quantitative approach of descriptive scope was carried out, through the application of a survey to students of Pedagogy of Experimental Sciences: Mathematics and Physics. As a results, it was obtained that students wish to carry out laboratory practices on Hydrostatics due to the abstraction of some topics and the complexity involved in understanding them. Also that didactic resources would be a great resource to optimize learning and achieve a better conceptualization of all topics. Based on the answers of these surveys, it can be considered that Problem-Based Learning and the development of didactic resources are ideal strategies to addres Physics topic, because students translate theory with reality.
