Abstract

Secondary pupils and university students show low standards in Physics. This may be due to a lack of basic strategies and the lack of response offered by the educational system towards this problem. Should this hypothesis be right, it would explain that a lack of basic strategies would surely limit the possibility to improve the contents or the teaching methods. In this case, a coherent response from the educacional system should be to teach subjccts how to learn, mainly at elementary levels, and therefore new teaching methods and contents could be exploited.
