Abstract

The main goal that guided this research was to investigate conceptions associated with the Moon (ca'agoxoic) and temporalities present in multicultural physics classrooms in secondary schools in the Province of Chaco, Argentina. To that end, students from the Qom ethnic group was approached, they are part of the Guaicurú linguistic family. Also, we chose an action research meth-odology through which different activities were generated to be implemented in secondary education institutions. Records were obtained through written productions, observations, etc. Finally, the results obtained show a masculine conception of Moon (ca'agoxoic), where it´s phases are perceived by Qom students in a different way from those expressed by scholarly science. Likewise, Ca´agoxoic (moon) apparent movement is related to menstrual cycles, fertility and months. The tasks carried out gen-erated points of access to ancestral knowledge from a valuation perspective.
