Teaching Energy Conservation as a Unifying Principle in Physics

Abstract: In this work we present the design and assessment of a teaching sequence aimed at introducing the principle of energy conservation at post-compulsory secondary school level (16-18 year olds). The proposal is based on the result of research into teaching-learning difficulties and on the analysis of the physics framework. Evidence is shown that this teaching sequence, together with the methodology used in the classroom, may result in students having a better grasp of the principle of energy conservation.

“…El enfoque de la enseñanza como "indagación orientada" incluye una estructura de "situaciones problemáticas" que orienta las actividades de la SEA, lo que obliga a pasar del diseño de "grano grande" al diseño de detalle o "grano fino" (Guisasola et al 2008, Furió et a. 2012, Solbes et al 2009. Estas investigaciones han contribuido a la producción de materiales didácticos cuya implementación ha obtenido resultados comparativamente buenos (Verdu y Martinez-Torregrosa 2004, Guisasola et al 2017, Savall et al 2019.…”

“…Very few researchers report quantitative conceptual results on energy together with a description of their educational approach. Recently Solbes (2009) used exercise questions to provide such results and shows promising students" progress while making use of an approach based on conceptual change (Duit & Treagust, 2003), making such an approach an alternative that needs to be considered as well.…”
