PAREDES-NAVIA, Julián Guillermo  e  MOLINA-CABALLERO, Manuel Fredy. Teaching Chemical Kinetics through Simulation and Active Learning. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Tecnol. [online]. 2019, n.45, pp.71-88. ISSN 0121-3814.

This research paper presents a proposal for the implementation of experimental and simulation activities, based on the principles of active learning methodology, for teaching and learning the factors that modify the rate of reaction. This strategy was applied to tenth graders from San Lorenzo Secondary School, located in the town of Suaza, in Huila department (Colombia). For this purpose, two groups are taken, one of which integrates the development of the activities through the practical work and another one, which does so using the "Virtual LabCin" chemical kinetic experiments simulator. The proposal integrates the application of a previous ideas test, the development of interaction-demonstration workshops, and the implementation of the final test. According to the results, a temporal confrontation analysis (before, during and after) is run. This analysis determines that the didactic proposed not only allows establishing a positive and favorable impact on the performance and acquisition of knowledge of the concepts addressed, but also provides the development of intellectual and procedural capacities, which stimulate proposition, confrontation, communication and the development of ideas.

Palavras-chave : experimentation; simulation; active learning; chemical kinetics.
