Description
The ADELANTE project addresses challenges in integrating physics labs into secondary education by incorporating smartphones and Arduino microcontrollers into teaching-learning sequences (TLSs) with educational intentionality. Following the Design-Based Research framework, several TLSs were developed, targeting foundational physics topics: motion, energy, forces and fields, waves and particles. These TLSs include inquiry-based lab activities designed to foster scientific practices and student agency. The process of TLSs development leverages teacher communities at two levels: a group of “teacher leaders” had co-developed the TLSs with the researchers, while larger communities of practices are testing the TLSs nationwide to ensure applicability and effectiveness.
