Diseño y construcción de un artefacto para el desarrollo del pensamiento espacial

Abstract

Taking into account the development of the spatial thinking in high school schoolers as target, it was designed and built a device in which the concept of vector is approached as key element in the learning of different topics, not only physics, but math and technology. Designing and building the device made possible the planning, drawing, production and application of one Actividad Tecnológica Escolar through analysis. With this device, it is possible the spatial location of one point in three dimensions and the identifications of the trajectories made to locate the vector. The activities take into account the structural and functional analysis of the device from a technological approach. It also considers how to locate a point from three coordinates from the physics and Trigonometric ratios that participates from math. The ATE was applied on tenth grade at Paulo VI school, in Kennedy sector, in Bogotá.
