Estrategia metodológica para la enseñanza del concepto de energía en ciencias naturales del grado quinto integrando la platadorma Arduino como medio didáctico

Abstract

This work exhibits a methodological strategy of a constructivist nature that integrates the Arduino platform as a didactic medium in order to face the teaching process of the topic "sources and forms of energy" of the subject of Natural Sciences in the fifth grade of the Institución Educativa Presbítero Jesús Antonio Gómez in the town of El Santuario. The development of this strategy was carried out an analysis of the predecessors that have implemented ICT tools of this type in educational curriculums. Before, Students´ knowledge of the subject was diagnosed through a pretest. Subsequently, the methodological strategy was built with a focus for both, student and teacher, and its implementation was carried out in the classroom. At the end of the intervention, a posttest was carried out (equal in content to the pre-test to standardize conditions) and based on the results, the learning gain compared to the subject was calculated using the Hake index, finding a high level of gain and concluding that the strategy designed for the teaching of “sources and forms of energy” topic using Arduino platform as didactical tool impacted positively the study population.
