Los conceptos en la resolución de problemas de física "bien estructurados": aspectos identificativos y aspectos formales

Abstract

This paper deals with the solution to problems of General Physics of the type normally proposed in textbooks. It is our opinion that when solving one of these problems we must build a representation of the problem itself. In order to do that we must perform a series of tasks that can be split into two types: of identification and of logical competence. We have analysed the mistakes in both. We have concluded that one of the main reasons for the mistakes in solving this type of problems is the lack of meaning, rather than the use of the own meaning attached by the solver. In the theoretical foundation we have used ideas of different origin: Neimark, van Dijk and Eco, among others.
