El aspecto empírico de las ciencias naturales como punto de partida para mejorar el interés y desarrollar pensamiento científico en los estudiantes de sexto grado de la I.E. José María Torti Soriano de Pelaya.

Abstract

Master's Thesis carried out following the Action Research method, with an interpretive hermeneutic approach, addressing the problems presented in the I.E. José María Torti Soriano, from the municipality of Pelaya, department of Cesar, consisting in the fact that sixth grade students during the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, presented high percentages of failure in the area of Natural Sciences that indicated situations in the design of the classes causing apathy and disinterest in learning natural sciences with low academic results. Using various bibliographic sources based on research with authors such as Gellon et al., (2005), it was proposed as the object of this research to design, develop and evaluate a strategy that would emphasize the empirical aspect of Natural Sciences such as the point of activation of attention and interest and as a gateway for the construction of scientific ideas. The intervention carried out with this didactic sequence showed satisfactory results such as the taste for practical and exploratory activities that captivate attention from the outset and that direct learning while improving academic performance. All the research took place in a reality of remote classes due to the COVID 19 pandemic that involved new challenges and new possibilities for interaction in the teaching-learning process through the use of information and communication technologies.
