Efecto de los experimentos impactantes en la motivación para el aprendizaje de la física en los estudiantes del segundo ciclo de Ingeniería de Sistemas de la Universidad Autónoma del Perú, 2017

Abstract

is the effect of the impactful experiments on the motivation for the learning of Physics in the students of the second cycle of systems engineering of the Autonomous University of Peru, 2017? and as a general objective: Determine the effect of impactful experiments on the motivation for learning Physics in students of the second cycle of systems engineering at the Autonomous University of Peru, 2017. The hypothesis formulated was the following: The experiments impactful increase the motivation for learning Physics in the second cycle students of Systems Engineering of the Autonomous University of Peru, 2017.

In the methodological aspect, the type of research is Applied. The level is causal and explanatory, the design was quasi-experimental with control and experimental group, with pretest and posttest. The sample was of census type, was composed of 52 students, and distributed as follows: The control group composed of 14 students and the experimental group by 38 students.

In the investigation, the following results were obtained: by means of the Wilcoxon test for P-aired samples, significant differences were found in the total scores between the pretest and the posttest of the Experimental Group (p_valor = 0.020 <0.05) so it can be affirmed that: Shocking experiments increase the motivation for learning Physics in the second cycle students of Systems Engineering, which demonstrates the general hypothesis. The comparison of the means between the total of the posttest of the control group and the experimental group allowed to find significant differences) (p_valor = 0.020 <0.05). Likewise, the means of the total scores and of the dimensions in the pretest and the posttest of the control group were compared, and there was no evidence that there were significant differences, which is explained because the control group did not receive the intervention.
