TORRES, Nidia; BOLIVAR, Alejandro; SOLBES, Jordi e PARADA, Mónica. PERCEPTIONS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ABOUT THEIR EDUCATION IN PHYSICS IN SECONDARY EDUCATION. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.2, pp.599-606. ISSN 0123-4226. https://doi.org/10.31910/rudca.v21.n2.2018.975.
This article presents the results of a diagnostic questionnaire about perceptions towards physics, by 104 students who start their professional careers as future graduates in Natural Sciences and Environmental Education in a Colombian university. This study focused on the following categories: experiences on learning of physics, methodology of teacher in the physics class, difficulties of the students to learn physics and suggestions to improve their teaching. The results reflect importance of exploring and generating strategies that optimize the four dimensions; for example, in relation to the learning of physics, the participants show the predominance of the abstract approach. Likewise, they indicate the need to include experimental practices and their contextualization in teaching of physics. Positive comments were found towards the study of physics when students have studied it from the first grades of secondary basic education, which suggests that an earlier and qualitative education may favor interest in the teaching of physics.
