Transformaciones conceptuales y procedimentales de los estudiantes en la comprensión del circuito eléctrico simple

Abstract

This work of degree, in the modality of deepening, presents the design, the implementation and the analyses corresponding to the development of four workshops of teaching of the physics, based on the integral comprehension of the simple electrical circuit, Applied in a Grade 11 course of the new Chile IED School. The workshops were preceded by a survey of students ' interests in the electrical circuit, as well as by the documentary review of the problems in the teaching of electricity and electrical circuits. The inquiry methodology was based on the basic principles of action research. In the implementation of the different workshops there is evidence of transformations in the skills for the practical construction of the circuits, as well as advances in the understanding of the phenomena associated to the simple electrical circuit, such as the field Electromagnetic responsible for the transmission of energy. In this sense, the results of the project are constituted in a contribution for the consolidation of a didactic of the electricity that, in the case of the electrical circuits, integrates the electromagnetic field in the corresponding phenomenological explanations.
