Ideas de los estudiantes universitarios sobre las relaciones trabajo y energía en Mecánica en cursos introductorios de Física

Relations between work and energy are still a source of teaching-learning problems in the first years of university introductory physics courses since they involve abstract concepts and skills of scientific methodology. Considering the previous studies in the literature, the main objective of this contribution is to identify and document specific difficulties that students show while thinking and reasoning about the relation between work and energy in isolated systems. This research consists in the analysis of answers to a work-energy questionnaire administered to students taking introductory ...
