The work presents a didactic proposal on the use of concept maps, for the
understanding of mechanical physics. A didactic intervention based on Ausubel's theory was
applied with the following activities: design, implementation and application of workshops based
on real physical situations, where the elaboration of concept maps is the central axis, under the
quantitative paradigm of interpretative level and action research method. The informants were
43 tenth grade students from a public educational institution located in the Department of Norte
de Santander, Colombia. The results obtained showed that the use of concept maps as a didactic
intervention favoured the significant learning of classical mechanics concepts. It was evident
that the participating students achieved reflective analysis about the resolution of problems about
the concepts of mechanics.
