Pedagogical strategy of teaching-learning projectile throwing in third year baccalaureate students of the “Santa Rita Educational Unit”
Keywords:
learning, parabolic trajectory, pedagogical strategyAbstract
A pedagogical strategy is presented for teaching projectile launching to third-year high school students at the Santa Rita Educational Unit. It is focused on teaching concepts such as parabolic trajectory, initial velocity and launch angle, which are fundamental. to understand the motion of projectiles in physics. To facilitate this learning, the PhET interactive simulator was used, which allowed students to manipulate different variables and observe how these affect the behavior of the projectiles in real time. The methodology was implemented in three phases: a theoretical introduction to the key concepts, an interactive experimentation phase with the PhET simulator, and an evaluation based on theoretical and practical tests. In addition, this pedagogical strategy seeks to promote active and participatory learning, where Students become protagonists of their own learning process, exploring and discovering the effects of changes in launch parameters. The result was the evaluation of the students, which was carried out through tests that combined theoretical questions about the principles of projectile movement and practical exercises that required them to apply what they learned in simulations.
