- Abstract
The objective of this research was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the virtual simulator program in the learning of elementary Physics in the inquiry competition through the scientific method to build knowledge in 5th year high school students. The approaches of Papert (1987), Díaz Forero (2012), Meza Cuba (2017), among others, were taken as a theoretical foundation. Methodologically, it is a research with a quantitative approach, quasi-experimental and applied design, the population analyzed was made up of students in the 5th year of high school from the 10 best private schools in Chiclayo, selecting with non-probabilistic sampling, for convenience, 50 students who took Elementary Physics course. The experimental group (GE) consisted of 24 students and the control group (GC) of 22 students. The results determined that the applications of the virtual simulators caused a significant effect on the learning of the elementary physics course in the inquiry competence through the scientific method. For the contrasting of hypotheses, the Mann-Whitney U test was used, which yielded a value U = 73,000, (p_ value = 0.000<0.05) for the control group and U=82,500 (p_value=0.000<0.05) for the experimental group. It was concluded that the GE students obtained better results after the application of virtual simulators. The virtual simulator program to improve learning in the elementary physics course involves two fundamental learning theories such as Seymour Papert's constructionism and Burrhus Frederic Skinner's behaviorism.
