Chat is high school students' prior knowledge about the concept of energy?
Abstract
In this partial field research, which is of a mixed type, we intend to show some of the results of the application of an exploratory empirical instrument in a sample of 70 students from three groups of second grade of a general public high school in Mexico City, whose ages range between 13 and 14 years old, of the morning shift in the subject of Science (Physics) with the purpose of inquiring about the Initial Explanatory Models (MEI) or previous knowledge about the concept of energy, which is part of a Professional Practices Report for the degree in Teaching and Learning of Physics in Secondary Education of the Escuela Normal Superior de México of the generation 2019-2023.
Alternative conceptions or previous ideas, which, with the passage of time, has received different denominations according to the conceptual frameworks of researchers in science didactics, such as: notions, prior ideas, students' conceptions or beliefs, alternative conceptions, misconceptions, conceptual errors, preconceptions, children's science, naïve beliefs, misconceptions, cultural theories, personal models of reality, initial explanatory models, among others (Jiménez, Solano, & Marín, 1994; Wandersee, Mintzes, & Novak, 1994; López-Mota & Rodríguez-Pineda, 2013).
