A study on the relevance of laboratory practice and peer instruction in physics education
Resumen
A teaching-learning methodology is presented through the implementation of two team teaching techniques simultaneously: peer instruction (PI) and home laboratory practices in Physics. The research was quantitative in nature, so the stages corresponding to this type of study were followed. The development of the technique was studied in two independent groups of students, one corresponding to the control group (CG, 33 students), and the other to the experimental group (EG, 31 students). The method showed a significant progress in the learning of the Physics subject in the EG compared to the control group. The progress reached an improvement of approximately 15% in the CG when the PI technique was performed, and an increase of up to 23.2% when the laboratory practices were implemented at home, in particular the laboratory experiences were performed with everyday materials.
