REYES-RONCANCIO, Jaime Duvan; ROMERO-OSMA, Gloria Patricia  y  BUSTOS-VELAZCO, Edier Hernan. Teaching physics through contextualised concept cartoons. Rev. Cient. [online]. 2019, n.36, pp.381-395. ISSN 0124-2253.  https://doi.org/10.14483/23448350.15156.

The use of cartoons in the teaching of physics is researched in this study. The methodology of this mixed approach involves the design and use of concept contextualised cartoons and their validation as well as implementation among groups of high school students. Subsequently, a motivational scale regarding the use of cartoons and the teaching of physics is adapted and applied. The results obtained describe the characteristics of questions formulated by the students when interacting with the cartoon, specifically in relation to the scientific knowledge associated to three phenomena of the study, namely atmospheric electric discharges, i.e. thunderbolts, electric current and polarisation. Furthermore, the cartoons’ didactic potential was identified in relation to the categories of the motivational scale, which highlights significant motivational levels associated with the relationship of life and the importance of the physics class.

Palabras clave : innovation; narratives; motivation; learning; cartoons.
