Nuestra pretensión en este trabajo es cuestionar la distinción clásica entre «teoría», «prácticas de laboratorio» y «problemas». Intentaremos mostrar qué investigaciones realizadas en los tres campos privan de sentido a esta separación que, conviene notar, no guarda paralelismo alguno con la actividad científica real.
This paper offers a detailed example of transformation of a science practica1 work, from the usual simple recipe into an open problematic situation capable of favouring pupils' research.Los estudios sobre prácticas de laboratorio están adquiriendo estos últimos años un nuevo impulso (Caamaño,
The thesis that one of the fundamental objectives of science education is «to transmit» to the new generations the essential elements of scientific research experience acquired by mankind is argued. Certain aspects that, in opinion of the authors, should be considered in the physics teaching-learning process today are emphasized. One of the most outstanding characteristic of the contemporary scientific research activity is the use of computers; from this perspective the authors examine the basic objectives of their use in physics teaching.
INTRODUCCIÓNSon de reconocimiento general las dificultades que confronta la enseñanza de la física en la escuela media, dificultades que con frecuencia se extienden a los primeros años de las carreras universitarias (Solbes, Calvo y
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
