Desarrollo e implementación de una propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza de la óptica y la fotónica en el Centro Interactivo Maloka

Abstract

To contribute to the scientific formationof literate citizens and technologically isone of the intentions of the education ingeneral. To develop these capacities isnot only a work of the school,but itcorresponds also to other institutions inthe society as there it are the museums. This writing accounts for the planning, organization, making and execution of 6 workshops half-closed to the opticsfotónica in the interactive centerMaloka; making use of active learningand the problem solving, one looks thatthe public achieves to improve, questionor put between saying its forms ofexplanation in such a way that theycould predict, discuss, observe andpropose situations that allow to proveand promote the use of practices and ofactivities, like a way to constructknowledge. The achievement of theworkshops was realized by themediators of the interactive centerMaloka and by public in general. Making use of the kit of photonicsexplorer composed by glasses, mirrors, splits, optical fibre, polarizadoresbetween others; six workshops wereprepared, five of these are prepared forthe application with school public inthose that there does to itself emphasison questions related to phenomena Ihalf-close to the interactions of the lightwinth the way (spread, dispersion,reflection, refraction, interference, entire reflection), of which cuatros wereworn out in the educational institutionand a fifth one in the interactive center, finally there is generated a sixthworkshop which approach allows to domediation for the public in general; oneof learnings of the process, of thisintership is that the workshops can beworn out of individual form or insequence. As well as its achievementand execution although it was thoughtfor tenth grade, the language of theroutine character allows to be worn outwith students of different ages, where Igo on to the curiosity for thephenomenon, to create, to amuse itselfand to learn. This way of planning and ofrealizing the workshops allows him tosee the teacher a physics education withsense and to the student learning of thephysics where he is leading. One of the contributions of this report isthe achievement of a module that faces theteacher step by step in the execution of theworkshops inspired by the expositionsmethodologically of active learning.
