Investigación del desarrollo y aprendizaje de la noción de aceleración en adolescentes

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present some of the conclusions reached at the clinical research of the development and learning of the notion of acceleration in teenagers between 11 and 16. From the results therein obtained we gather conclusions that concern teaching implicitly. As a criterion to accede to the understanding of acceleration we tried its comprehension from a kinetic approach (.6V/át). By means of three experiments we show the difficulties with which the students met to understand the concept of acceleration.
