Introducción de la teoría de la relatividad especial en el nivel medio/polimodal de enseñanza: identificación de teoremas-en-acto y determinación de objetivos-obstáculo

Abstract

In this work, we present an analysis of the representations that students, in high school/polimodal level in Argentina have about relevant classic concepts, necessaries for the understanding of the Special Relativity Theory (TER). The results seem to show that the analyzed students group has not developed appropriate schemas for them. From these incorrect conceptions, we try to determine some objectives – obstacles that should be pass over by the students, in classroom context with an specific didactic proposal for a significative learning of the TER.
