Description
Summary:In this paper is analyzed the effect on the learning of the propasal of a practical work on Physics tor the Secondary Education pupils, related to fall of the weights. In the experimental design of practical work takes part the computer as a means of experimental data acquisitíon of speed and weights time that slide in a surface without rubbing and in free fall. The analysis of the results obtained with two experimental groups, as compared to other two control groups in a Secondary Education Center, índicates that the accomplishment of laboratory experiences, designed in the practical projects where takes part the computer, is capable of contributing to the significant learning in Elemental Dynamics more than by other traditional means. The significant learning is shown when the mental schemes of the pupils become coherent with the scientific ideas, and this is revealed by a significant decrease of the alternative ideas (misconceptions, spontaneous ideas or preconceptions), with respect to those which they had befare of the leaming process.
