La Enseñanza de la Física una Mirada desde Expociencia Juvenil

Abstract

This report is the product of the academic internship made in the Colombian Association for the advancement of Science, its principal objective is the study of the physics teaching in the science national fair: “Expociencia Expotecnologia 2013”, which was elaborated through a detailed analysis of the displayed works by the children of the secondary educational institutions in Colombia. The analysis consisted at several stages: the first was the classification of the works, reading each one of them. This exercise helped to work out the possible conceptual link with the Physics. Then an analytical summary or RAE (Resumen Analitico Especializado) of each work was set up as a second stage. Finally based on the RAEs, the results were tabulated, making possible the conclusion of the important and prominent aspects of the learning process, through, both in classroom as extracurricular researches activities. An important highlight was the work developed by transversal projects, achieving cooperation between subjects that, normally, are studying separately. As well, this dissertation is useful as a first step to carry out a state of art of the physics teaching and learning in Colombia, taking as a focal point the prestigious science fair.
