¿Cómo ayuda la Pizarra Digital Interactiva (PDI) a la hora de promover prácticas de indagación y modelización en el aula de ciencias?

Abstract

Resumen: La Pizarra Digital Interactiva (PDI), interfaz táctil conectada a un ordenador, permite no solo escribir o dibujar como en una pizarra tradicional sino también insertar y arrastrar imágenes, navegar o resaltar en pantalla. En este artículo analizamos el potencial de esta herramienta educativa para la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las ciencias en secundaria desde la perspectiva de la práctica científica, centrándonos en las esferas de indagación y modelización. Para ello, se han analizado 20 talleres experimentales de física, química y biología dirigidos a estudiantes de 13 a 17 años y que se llevan a cabo en un laboratorio informatizado. Estos talleres están estructurados en torno a un ciclo de aprendizaje que incluye las siguientes etapas: explorar los modelos iniciales del alumnado, diseñar experimentos, realizar predicciones e hipótesis, recoger y analizar datos experimentales y elaborar modelos consensuados en grupo. El análisis ha permitido caracterizar qué acciones con la PDI se utilizan en cada etapa del ciclo definido, e identificar aquellos episodios relevantes donde el potencial del dispositivo es clave a la hora de promover que los y las estudiantes se involucren en procesos de indagación y modelización.Palabras clave: Pizarra Digital Interactiva; argumentación; indagación; modelización; educación secundaria; aplicaciones informáticas; How does the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) help in promoting practices of inquiry and modeling in science classroom? Abstract: Interactive Whiteboards (IWB) are touch interfaces connected to a computer. As such, they enable the user not only to write and draw on the screen as with traditional whiteboards, but also to insert and drag pictures, as well as to navigate or highlight on the screen. In this paper, we analyze the potential of these educational tools in secondary school science education from the perspective of promoting students' participation in the scientific practices, focusing on inquiring and modelling. To this end, 20 physics, chemistry and biology experimental workshops have been analyzed. All these workshops were carried out in a computer-based laboratory and were addressed to 13 to 17-year-old-students. The workshops are structured around a learning sequence that includes the following stages: exploration of students' previous ideas, design of experiments, development of predictions and hypothesis, experimental data gathering and analysis, and group elaboration of consensus models. The analysis has made possible to characterize which actions carried out with the IWB are used in each stage of the defined cycle, and to identify those relevant episodes where the potential of the device is key in encouraging students to participate in inquiry and modeling practices. Introducción y estado de la cuestiónEn el contexto escolar, el término Pizarra Digital Interactiva (PDI) hace referencia a una superficie interactiva que, conectada a un ordenador, permite mostrar información e interactuar con ella a través de un lápiz marcador o directamente con el dedo,...

Improvement of Memory and Motivation in Language Learning in Primary Education through the Interactive Digital Whiteboard (IDW): The Future in a Post-Pandemic Period

“…In the case of the IDW, the advantages of its use have also been studied, and there is abundant literature on its positive effects on the teaching-learning process, students and teachers [3,16,20,21].…”

“…In other words, the pedagogical use of this tool produces a positive impact on teacher-student interaction, as well as an impact on the different forms of memory. Each time teachers run software through the IDW, the potential teaching functionality is expanded, and the exploitation of resources is maximized [3].…”

“…One of them is related to IDW. These are tools that provide added value for the improvement of teaching and learning processes [3,20]. Specifically, in language teaching, they generate an active and interactive process that has been studied since their introduction in schools [29].…”

“…One of these instruments is the interactive digital whiteboard (IDW), a touch interface connected to a computer, which allows not only writing or drawing as on a traditional blackboard, but also inserting and dragging images, navigating or highlighting on the screen. Gradually, the IDW has become one of the most comprehensive and innovative resources for teaching [3]. On the other hand, along with the fact that the main problem, which affects language learning, can be related to the use of an obsolete and inadequate methodology, other aspects, such as the lack of interest and motivation of students, are being put forth as the key to the development of the teaching-learning process.…”

Promoción de competencias científicas en textos escolares de Ciencia y Tecnología del segundo grado de educación secundaria de Perú

“…Vidal et al (2017) indican el trabajo con estudiantes de bajo rendimiento a través de proyectos de indagación científica. López et al (2016) reseñan el uso de la Pizarra Digital Interactiva para desarrollar procesos indagatorios. Doménech-Casal (2019), por su parte, propone la lectura en oleadas a través de ciclos indagatorios.…”
