Development of metrological culture in students at preuniversity education

Desarrollo de la cultura metrológica en los estudiantes de la Educación Preuniversitaria

Abstract

The theoretical research carried out allowed the authors to verify that in the consulted sources there are no studies on how to develop the metrological culture in pre-university students, despite the importance that this has in preparing them for life. This highlights the relevance of the development of metrological culture in students; as well as the need for teachers to have a system of teaching tasks that allows them to treat the metrological contents in the running of the teaching-learning process of Physics. Based on these assumptions, the task of investigating the causes that determine such a problem was assumed, for this, through the use of methods like analytic-synthetic, theoretical systematization, modeling, observation, documentary analysis, pedagogical test, survey, interview and descriptive statistics, a diagnosis was made that allowed verifying the low level of development of the metrological culture in the students; as well as the limited preparation that teachers have to apply a task system that promotes the treatment of metrological contents. Then, from the bibliographic review, the term metrological culture was defined and the proposal was elaborated. Subsequently, a preparation course was given to pre-university teachers for the application of the teaching task system and finally, once they were applied, a final diagnosis was made, which allowed verifying the effectiveness of the task system.
