To teach physics by exploring, documenting learning difficulties, identifying previous knowledge,
looking into alternative schemes or using worksheets and including cooperative work, requires a new
educational approach where many problems of physics are analyzed from a cognitive and
epistemological origin rather than from pedagogical instructions [2]. Through an exploratory
research, using qualitative and non-experimental data collection techniques such as paper and pencil
tests, comprehensive assessments (diagnostic, formative, summative and alternative) among others,
as well as applying exploratory techniques for obtaining information, is action research which is part
of the practice portion of the teaching of Physics at Chapingo
