First findings of a pilot study on the teaching of physics in the Agronomic Engineering career

Abstract

Within the basic cycle context of the Agronomic Engineering came out the problem of Physics Teaching. We particulary considered the design and evaluation of a curricular proposal for thermodynamics teaching framed in a theoretical model that surpasses the teaching language process. There the need to seek for student’s when coming to study physics appeared. In this work it is shown the first results on the science conception that form part of their cognitive system. In this work the first advances to design an instructional proposal are shown all of then based on the theoretical frame regarding the Physics Teaching issue in the Agronomics career. A theoretical frame is proposed from if results coming out from the curricular design practical implementation are thought to be prepared and validated. The contextual frame is also characterized from this frame comes out a need: to identify the primary science concept that students bring when to university the result are obtained by special instructional design are presented as pretest and posttest.
