Web page to improve feedback in the teaching of physics in baccalaureate: Partial results of a research seed project

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to apply a feedback based on the peer instruction through the use of a web page developed by students of the Bachelor's Degree in Education Sciences with a major in Physics and Mathematics of the University of Guayaquil in the teaching of the concepts of Work and Energy to improve students' performance. This web page emerges as a result of a research seed project and it aims to provide a resource for the teacher through which effective feedback can be made to students during the teaching-learning process. The subjects of study were 120 students enrolled in the First Year of Unified General Baccalaureate of Ecuador who are studying the subject of Physics. Their ages are between 14 and 16 years, including 57 men and 63 women. The procedure followed during the procedure was as follows: (1) to present the intervention to the experimental group and the control group to the traditional model (2) apply the performance test. The Welch's t-test gave the result of p < 0.0001. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected and the research hypothesis is accepted. In addition, it can be inferred that the results obtained are due to the feedback made by the teacher through the use of the web page developed in the present research seed project.
