THE DESIGN OF AN INSTRUMENT TO ASSESS COGNITIVE LEVELS OF INFORMAL INFERENTIAL REASONING IN HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS

Informal logical reasoning (English Informal Inferential Reasoning, IIR) is a cognitive process, the main characteristic of which is to take into account the student's environment, informal and formal reasoning, and the latter, as a rule, is promoted in high school science courses such as physics, and in courses that are developed and consolidated during adolescence. The study aims to consider the construction of methods for measuring IIR with elements based on the educational goals of the Marzano and Kendall taxonomy, which are detailed in terms of the performance that must be achieved in each cognitive process. Similarly, the key concepts of physics are considered from the topics of Uniform Rectilinear Motion (URM) and Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion (UARM). The method was evaluated by 12 experts for understanding and relevance, and a pilot test was conducted with a sample of 212 high school students aged 15 to 18 years. The results showed the reliability and reliability of the method (V Aiken = .73) to evaluate the cognitive processes necessary for the study of physics. This experiment is a useful method for teachers who want to adapt the thematic content of the curriculum to gradually encourage cognitive processes, ranging from recall to analysis and use of knowledge.
