Resumen
This study, conducted at Colegio San Mateo in Bogotá, investigates the impact of active learning strategies on the motivation and scientific competencies of elementary and high school students. Using an action research approach and a mixed methodological design, 146 students in grades 5, 9 and 10 were evaluated through four interventions (Jigsaw, Hands-on, Interactive Multimedia Resources and Think-Pair-Share). The results showed a significant increase in motivation, participation and acquisition of scientific knowledge, evidencing the effectiveness of these methodologies. The research highlights that active learning transforms education and promotes the comprehensive development of scientific competencies, although its implementation requires rigorous planning and teacher support. In conclusion, active learning strategies optimize academic performance and have a positive impact on the learning experience, fostering scientific skills.
