Aprendizaje experiencial de la física: diseño y ensamble de experimentos con materiales cotidianos para una enseñanza significativa de la física en la educación básica rural (PTA/FI 3.0)

Abstract

The development of the Marco Fidel Suárez Educational Institution in Moniquirá highlighted the importance of implementing contextualized pedagogical strategies to address the needs of rural education. Implemented within the framework of the Tutoring Program for Learning and Comprehensive Development, it strengthened the teaching of Natural Sciences and Physics through active methodologies adapted to the specific characteristics of rural schools and the diversity of students. The experience demonstrated that the inherent conditions of the region, such as geographic dispersion, multi-grade classrooms, and limited resources, are not merely obstacles, but also opportunities to construct meaningful learning experiences connected to students' everyday lives. The implementation of strategies based on the New School movement, project-based learning, and experimentation fostered active participation, collaborative work, and the development of scientific skills at different educational levels. Furthermore, it was evident that connecting academic knowledge with the local context strengthens student motivation and promotes a deeper understanding of natural phenomena. Consequently, the experience reaffirms the need to consolidate flexible and innovative pedagogical practices that recognize the particularities of rural areas and contribute to improving the quality of education, comprehensive training, and the creation of opportunities for rural communities
