Mexican experience in Professional Education; teaching methodology in Mechanical Engineering Degree Programs; learning strategies for basic concepts of mechanics; creation of conceptual maps with CmapTools.Abstract
This article presents the results of the pedagogical study, which objective was to establish the scope of the conceptual maps carried out with CmapTools in the learning of basic concepts of classical mechanics by metallurgical engineering students in National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico and to identify the way in which such concepts are learned. Author founds, that students, by creating conceptual maps on the basic concepts of mechanics with CMapTools with good content quality evaluated with a semantic evaluation rubric, improved their understanding of these concepts, according to the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) questionnaire and increased their motivation to study these aspects of mechanics. Therefore, the creation of conceptual maps with CMapTools affects positively the significant learning of the basic concepts of classical mechanics.
