Abstract

The following work is carried out in the framework of a design-based research and aims to identify the graphic representations of movement developed by high school students from a didactic design for free fall that integrates the Tracker software. The proposal in its first cycle of implementation and evaluation, took place in a 5th year course (16-17 years old) of a high school in Cordoba (Argentina) composed of 37 students. From the analysis of the resolution of the activities, it is shown how the students, through the use of Tracker software within the framework of a specific didactic design, improve their velocity graphs with respect to time when representing a ball in free fall. At the same time, issues of the didactic design that will allow improving the proposal and carrying out a second cycle of implementation and evaluation are analyzed.
