La relación entre las creencias epistemológicas y el desempeño de estudiantes de secundaria en la actividad investigativa en Física
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar la relación entre las concepciones epistemológicas de los estudiantes y su desempeño en una actividad investigativa, realizada en parejas, a través de una simulación por computadora. El desempeño de los estudiantes fue evaluado según un conjunto de factores: el número total de experimentos realizados, la exploración del campo experimental, el porcentaje de variables independientes investigadas; y la cantidad y/o porcentaje de pruebas válidas y concluyentes realizadas. De esta investigación cuantitativa participaron 184 estudiantes de primer año de secundaria de una escuela pública federal de Belo Horizonte. Los resultados sugieren que, en general, los estudiantes que tienen creencias epistemológicas más sofisticadas sobre la Naturaleza de la Ciencia tienden a presentar estrategias más apropiadas para el control de variables y la experimentación. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se discuten implicaciones educativas y se proponen nuevas posibilidades de investigación en el área.
