Teaching wave-particle duality using didactic materials to improve its conceptualization

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of didactic materials capable of allowing students to approach the theoretical foundations for the conceptualization of abstract topics of Quantum Mechanics such as wave-particle duality. For the development of this research, a qualitative and applied methodology was used to collect data. The population consisted of 25 students of the 8th Semester of the Pedagogy of Experimental Sciences in Mathematics and Physics of the University of Guayaquil, who took a test to evaluate their knowledge about the Wave-Particle Duality topic, before and after using didactic materials in their teaching for their learning. They concluded that there was evidence of favorable changes at the moment of using didactic materials on the conceptualization of the wave-particle duality.
