Abstract

The research focused on the use of Modellus as a didactic strategy for the teaching-learning of kinematics in second-year high school students at the Cinco de Mayo Fiscomisional Educational Unit. The results obtained from surveys are presented, which demonstrate the benefits of this tool in the educational process. The main problem was how to facilitate the understanding of kinematics concepts in the teaching-learning context. A classification of the themes of uniformly accelerated and varied rectilinear motion was made. The objective was to propose a teaching strategy based on the Modellus simulation program to facilitate the understanding of these topics. The technique applied was a questionnaire that allowed analyzing and interpreting the use of Modellus in the classroom. The results of this study conclude that Modellus is an effective tool that optimizes the teaching of kinematics and promotes more dynamic and effective learning.
