Resumen:
This is the report of the design and evaluation of a physics Blended Learning course (BL) at the Universidad Nacional Experimental del Táchira, UNET, Venezuela. This course incorporates the new communication and information technologies, TICs, to the teaching and learning process of physics, while enhancing student cognitive abilities necessary for learning science. It combines resources and activities for virtual and face to face interactions, using the moodle plataform in the Unetvirtual. Instructional materials with special emphasis in the development of cognitive abilities were designed ad hoc and organized by means of concept maps. A qualitative research approach was mainly employed, but data gathering was made using both quantitative and qualitative techniques, according to the nature of the data collected. A very high quality course from a technological and pedagogical point of view was obtained. This course is being used in the university with excellent results. A normative model for the design of a BL course, which emphasizes the development of cognitive abilities was developed. This model explains a set of actions and recommendations which may lead a novel teacher who wants to design a BL course.
