Integration Didactic with Exploration Applied in the Teaching Solar Energy
Abstract
The aim of this paper was design, apply and evaluate a teaching-learning experience in physics, by means of implementation of a methodology: integration didactic with exploration applied (IDEA), with students of precollege level. We considered for this study, solar energy applications and we worked in four stages, each one of which represents the elements of methodology: the integration of learning theories, the teaching of discipline, the exploration with worksheets and the application in prototypes. Participated in this study 47 students and we review the topic of transfer of thermal energy. Therefore, through exploring with PreTest and PostTest, during and after the intervention methodology; we get an integrating conceptual in the topics studied. Finally, was possible to achieve a significant conceptual gain in both the acquisition of cognitive and procedural elements. Accordingly, the methodology can be an alternative in the teaching-learning process of physics.
