Abstract
This paper shows the impact of a methodological renewal, based on conceptual maps and Gowin’s V diagram, in academic performance and creativity of freshman students from Civil Engineering in University of Bio Bio, Concepcion, Chile, who participate in subject Physics with me in the modular system. The objective in incorporating both heuristic instruments is to facilitate the reflection of information and problem solving in physics. The study is quasi-experimental with pre-and post-test in the study variables. The results show that the proposed methodological renewal significantly influences academic performance, and in certain categories, is of creativity. The analysis also shows a relation between academic performance and creativity, which would predict the success or fail in physics.
Highlights
The academic success, product of a meaningful learning, is related to the ability to transfer, which is understood as the ability to adapt the material learned to problem situations in different contexts, and is closely linked to creative features of subjects

In order to cope with these difficulties in physics knowledge and generate the appropriate changes, we have proposed building a methodological renewal for Physics I course based on the resolution of problems by Gowin’s V diagram and conceptual maps
Summary
The academic success, product of a meaningful learning, is related to the ability to transfer, which is understood as the ability to adapt the material learned to problem situations in different contexts, and is closely linked to creative features of subjects. In order to cope with these difficulties in physics knowledge and generate the appropriate changes, we have proposed building a methodological renewal for Physics I course based on the resolution of problems by Gowin’s V diagram and conceptual maps This intervention, built for first-year students in Civil Engineering formation, aims to improve the physics learning and creativity of the students, the latter being of great importance to face future professional challenges. This quasi-experimental research pretends to show the impact of the methodological renewal in academic performance and creative thinking
