Guía Didáctica sobre la Enseñanza de Campos Eléctricos para la Carrera de Pedagogía de las Ciencias Experimentales

Abstract

The present study aims to elaborate a didactic proposal that allows teachers to develop their classes on electric fields in a creative manner, using the Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) strategy. The teaching of electric fields is of paramount importance as it is immersed in different areas such as technology, engineering, and nanotechnology. Furthermore, electric fields are constantly evolving, requiring continuous familiarization. The study was conducted under a qualitative approach, where the technique used was interviews, for which a seven-question questionnaire was developed to facilitate data collection. The sample consisted of three physics teachers from the Experimental Sciences Pedagogy Program at the University of Cuenca. The information gathered allowed for an understanding of the limited use of concrete material by the teachers, but they showed openness to using a proposal that facilitates the utilization of concrete resources. Finally, a proposal is elaborated that contains three classes based on Challenge-Based Learning, which seeks to achieve a significant improvement in the understanding of the fundamental concepts of electric fields, as well as an increase in students' interest and motivation towards the subject.
