Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand and interpret the experiences of two high school students, participants in the national physics apparatus and experiments competition throughout their educational journey; from where the motivation, systematization and deepening of knowledge is promoted in the field of the development of constructivist learning, on the knowledge developed in the participants during their activity in the contest. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview. Among the results, the experience of the participants stands out, reflecting positive attitudes towards the study of physics and the importance of promoting personal growth processes through interaction in the teaching and learning process through contests promoted by educational institutions.
