DIDACTIC STRATEGY TO PROMOTE LEARNING THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION: APPLICATION OF PHYSICS IN AQUACULTURE

Abstract

A practical activity is proposed during the course of the Physics II subject to be developed in the aquaponics module installed in “Campo Escuela” (Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, UNC). Students work in the classroom and in “Campo Escuela” carrying out activities individually and in groups that are then individually evaluated. Through this didactic strategy, the aim is to promote learning through experimentation in an environment other than the classroom, with activities that promote learning by experimentation and collaborative learning. The aquaponic module includes basic contents of Physics and their transfer to application contents, which allows proposing problematic situations in the teaching of Agricultural Sciences. On the other hand, the team work in an environment outside the class promotes interpersonal relationships. Based on the results obtained in the final grades and the feedback made by the students themselves, it can be concluded that the proposed activity is an adequate tool for the teaching process and also an adequate evaluation instrument.
