PROBLEMS IN THE COMPREHENSION OF KINEMATIC GRAPHS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Abstract
This document shows the difficulties identified in a group of 76 students from sixth to ninth grade of a private educational institution whose training emphasis is the teaching of Natural Sciences. A questionnaire was applied to them in which there were five proposed situations which were based on the position-time graph associated with uniform rectilinear motion. A quantitative approach was adopted at a descriptive level with a field design, since the questionnaire was filled out by the primary informants. The main evidence was identified as the presence of conceptions around the subject, since there is not a total understanding of the subject due to the teaching methodology promoted by the teacher. The results show that students have a long list of difficulties mainly due to the lack of articulation of mathematical concepts in physical contexts, a situation that prevents them from analyzing the proposed statements, reasoning about the approaches and improving in the process of finding alternative solutions with clear arguments.
