Abstract

This represents an innovation in the field of educational technology by implementing the use of video and a constructivist strategy for teaching general physics through sports practices. The proposal was carried out with sixth-semester high school students at the Autonomous University of Querétaro from February 2023 to June 2023. A quantitative approach was used to measure the students' results with a pretest and posttest, measuring group averages. The topics covered during the classes included Newton's Laws, Particle Equilibrium, and Projectile Motion, with volleyball, calisthenics, and basketball being used for each respective topic. A problem-based learning (PBL) strategy was employed to solve exercises presented during the proposal, and inquiry-based learning (IBL) was used beforehand for the theoretical conceptualization of the topics addressed. When comparing the results in the posttest and pretest, a slight improvement in the group scores is evident. During the implementation of the proposal with sports practices, the students showed a high level of receptivity to participate in the activities, opening up areas of opportunity for future research and proposing innovative schemes that promote the comprehensive development of students, as established by the new Common Curriculum Framework for Upper Secondary Education in Mexico (MCCEMS).
