Description
Summary:This research work analyzes the influence of a didactic strategy based on problem solving and uses the model and experimental proceedings in the learning of the basic concepts of thermodynamics. This was a quasi-experimental study with an experimental and a control group. A post-testing was used. The test had 18 items and 9 factors about the understanding of basic concepts of thermodynamics. This test had a Cronbach’s alpha (α) of 0.61. The data analysis was done through two procedures. First, the percent of correct answers obtained by each groups were compared with the items included in the test. Secondly, a Student’s t-Test was used to compare the averages obtained by the experimental and control group in the test on understanding basic concepts of thermodynamics. From the results of both comparisons, it can be concluded that the alternative strategy is better to achieve the conceptual learning than a conventional didactic strategy.
