What can we do?

Our duty as teachers of physics at higher level, is precisely to plan teaching models to improve these shortcomings, transmit knowledge and to ensure that our students learn significantly.

Wiggins y Mc Tighe, 1998 “Understanding by Design”,

Doing the impossible to design their teaching so that students not only acquire a "simple knowledge", but rather to reach a deep understanding that allows the "enduring understanding."

Significant LearningRelate new knowledge to their cognitive structure, forming a new meaning and become part of it.

and construction of knowledge Which begins with a situation in

which several concepts and from there it has- At the base are events or objects- A focal question in the Central Part- Left side is the conceptual- Part Right are the methodological

Information and Communication Technology (ICTs)

This research has worked on the analysis of the implementation of teaching strategies that include certain technological resources to facilitate learning of disciplinary content understanding of physics. Specifically, the unit of dynamic, free-body diagram.

Research Questions How does the performance of students using V

Gowin when applied in the construction free body diagram for troubleshooting Dynamics of the particle?

How does the performance of students using Information Technology and Communication in solving problems of particle dynamics associated with free-body diagram?

How does the performance to those using V Gowin and not using V Gowin and use of ICT in the construction of free-body diagram applied to the solution of problems of dynamics?

Objective

The objectives for this research are as follows:

  Gowin's V design to match the

resolution of problems of dynamics

Designing rubrics for assessing Gowin's V for troubleshooting Dynamic

1st research hypothesis

H1: Students who participate in the use of ICT have greater academic achievement than students who do not participate in the Use of ICT

2nd Research hypothesis

H2: Students who receive instruction with Gowin's V have higher academic achievement than students not receiving instruction Gowin's V

3rd Research Hypothesis

H3: Take classes with Gowin's V compared to classes without receiving Gowin's V has different effect on students participating in sessions of the Use of ICT and non-participants.

Methodology Subjects.

Homogeneous groups A, B, C and D.200 students19 years old.Using V Gowin.Use ICTs.

Instructional task: Free body diagrams.

Applied:Test Input,was given instructionTest OutputKnowledge test.

Instructional Time: 8 hours.

Methodology

Process

Desing of 2x2 Group A: With V Gowin and ICTs.

Group B:With V Gowin and no ICTs.

Group C:With ICTs and no V Gowin.

Group D: No ICTs and whitout V Gowin.

Data Analysis

For the present study utilizes 2x2 ANOVA F test with a significance level of 0.05.

RESULTS

TESTS:

INPUT - OUTPUT

Media and Standard deviation

Normalized Gain

Output Test vs Input Test

KNOWLEDGE TEST

F Anova Analysis

Interaction between variables

CONCLUSIONS

After receiving the instruction the gain in output test showed improvement in student performance.

F Anova Test accepted all hypotheses formulated.

Students who studied free body diagrams using V Gowin and assigned using ICTS got better performance than those who did not do this.

Include V Gowin supported with ICTS for learning of the item free body diagram, influence on significant learning and improved student performance.
