Tipologías de experimentación en el laboratorio de física educativa

Abstract

The internship, held within the Educational Physics Laboratory, aimed to plan, execute, and analyze 24 physics workshops based on experimental typologies for students from Bogotá high schools in grades nine, ten, and eleven, as well as for practicing teachers. The workshops were held in person at the Macarena A Campus of the Francisco José de Caldas District University. These workshops were distributed so that one cycle would be equivalent to six workshops, or four cycles in total. The unique feature was that in each workshop, the student and teacher groups would be different. A total of 77 students participated, while the number of teachers was 18. It was observed that they displayed attitudes, emotions, and aspects such as amazement, intrigue, expectation, curiosity, enjoyment, tolerance for debate, imagination of many unusual situations, and exploration of various branches of physics. This is because, based on experimental typologies, the roles of the teacher and the student change drastically: on the one hand, the workshop facilitator's role was to plan the experimentation to develop thinking skills, participate in the class, stimulate debate, and offer ideas and information to facilitate the development of the activities. On the other hand, the student's role consisted of facing challenges, working as a team, reaching consensus, developing scientific language, and participating in the given experiments.
