Conceptual Construction in Physics Using Inductive Teaching Methods
Main Article Content
Abstract
This contribution shows the development and evaluation of an educational process with
mathematics teachers in training, focused on the use of teaching strategies with inductive characteristics, in Mathematics and Physics subject of the Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics Teaching at the University of Colima, Mexico. The experience includes 19 students, who have had disciplinary training in mathematics and master the procedural knowledge and algebraic language involved in Physics at the basic levels, but they had had little access to conceptual knowledge of both classical physics and modern physics. With this principle, the course focused on reflection and problem solving. From this logic, the proposal included searching for both the procedural and conceptual
domain, this second one is the central objective of this research. The inductive methods included the
use of audiovisual materials and readings, that go more in the order of dissemination. The results of their work show that, without omitting a more traditional training process, such as problem-solving or classic physics textbooks, the incorporation of inductive strategies focused on the particularities of concepts like “motion” or “light” allows for a deeper understanding of fundamental principles,
serving as a functional complement for a more comprehensive understanding.
