Abstract

This paper presents the results of a scientific pedagogical research, which goal was to reveal,how the using of the concept maps made with CmapTools, helps in the teaching of classical mechanics inMexican professional education. In particular, the results obtained from the study carried out in NationalPolytechnic Institute of Mexico, are presented. Authors found, that metallurgical engineering students moresuccessful learn the basic concepts of classical mechanics by creating conceptual maps with CMapTools.The way in which such conceptual maps must be carried out, implies preparation by the teacher of goodcontent quality evaluated with a semantic evaluation rubric. According to the study carried out, thisinnovative teaching technology improved understanding of classical mechanics, affects positively thesignificant learning of the basic concepts of classical mechanics and increased students ́ motivation to studythese aspects of mechanics.
