Transformando el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de Física en la EPJA: una práctica pedagógica significativa en la unidad educativa promoción social integral del Austro, Cuenca – Ecuador.

Abstract

The present thesis explores the teaching strategies implemented to increase the motivation and interest of first-year high school students in the Education for Young and Adult People (EPJA) program at the “Promoción Social Integral del Austro” Educational Unit in Cuenca, Ecuador. Firstly, the study addresses the issue of low motivation in the subject of Physics and is developed through the systematization of teaching experiences. For this purpose, a qualitative approach was used, gathering data through interviews, observation guides, and experience reconstruction sheets. As a result, it was evidenced that the application of participatory methodologies, such as Problem-Based Learning and Gamification, significantly increased students’ active participation and facilitated the understanding of physical concepts. In conclusion, it was determined that these strategies promote a more dynamic and motivating learning environment, strengthening skills such as critical thinking and autonomy. Finally, the research suggests that these experiences can be replicated and adapted to other EPJA contexts, thus contributing to the improvement of teaching and learning processes.
