Abstract (English): This article presents the results obtained in a case study with two students diagnosed at I. E. Caracas from the city of Medellín who are part of the physics research group (CASFI). The objective was to investigate whether the use of Tracker, a free downloadable program for analyzing and modeling physics videos based on a recorded video of the mechanical situation, helped students with intellectual disabilities to understand these phenomena. The methodology is qualitative, observing whether they were able to interpret it with this resource. This task had a descriptive study purpose, attempting to see if it allowed them to distinguish characteristics of movement and intrinsic type to see the effectiveness of its use as a technological tool. The results of using this software were satisfactory in the sense that it developed the students' understanding of the two topics studied and also allowed us to identify that the students understood the two phenomena analyzed. Tracker, as a program that allows repetition, helps reinforce concepts in physical situations with a STEM + H approach and promotes the development of critical thinking in students with intellectual disabilities. It is hoped that this study will be useful to other researchers who wish to replicate this technological aid for other students with other types of cognitive diagnoses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): En este artículo se exponen los resultados obtenidos en un estudio de caso con dos estudiantes diagnosticados de la I. E. Caracas de la ciudad de Medellín que hacen parte del semillero de investigación (CASFI). El objetivo era investigar si la utilización del programa Tracker, que es un programa de libre descarga para hacer análisis y modelado de videos en física a partir de un video grabado de la situación mecánica, servía para comprender dichos fenómenos en estudiantes con discapacidad intelectual. La metodología es de un enfoque cualitativo observando si ellos con este recurso eran capaces de interpretarlo, esta tarea tenía un propósito de estudio descriptivo intentando ver si les permitía distinguir características de movimiento y de tipo intrínseco para ver la eficacia de la utilización de esta herramienta tecnológica. Los resultados de utilizar este Software fueron satisfactorios en el sentido que desarrollo en los chicos compresión de los dos temas estudiados, además permitió identificar que en los estudiantes se dio comprensión de los dos fenómenos analizados. Tracker por ser un programa que permite la repetición ayuda a la comprensión de situaciones físicas con enfoque STEM + H y al desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes. Se espera que este estudio sea útil a otros investigadores que deseen replicar esta técnica a otros estudiantes que tengan otros tipos de diagnósticos cognitivos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
