Resumen

Introduction. Masriera i Esquerra (2007, 2008) affirms that, in reconstructed archaeological sites, there is real learning in students, but in consolidated models unlearning is generated. Objective. To know if there are differences in learning according to the presentation models of archaeological sites in students of the Peruvian Archeology course. Methodology. The research approach is a quantitative and descriptive type study with a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The sample is non-probabilistic and consists of 54 students from the 2nd cycle of the Peruvian Archeology course of the 2019 school period. The survey and observation were applied using 2 questionnaires (IEQA-1a and IEQA-4d) and 2 checklists (IEQA-2b and IEQA-3c). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and the non-parametric U Mann-Whitney test were also used. Results. The conceptual learning of the students in the consolidated site is medium (Me = 11), and in the reconstructed one, it is high (Me = 13); however, significant mean assimilation was evidenced in this model. Procedural learning at the reconstructed site is high (Me = 7), while in the consolidated one, it is low (Me = 4). Finally, attitudinal learning in the consolidated site is high (Me = 41), while in the reconstructed one, it is very high (Me = 44). Conclusions. The results show significant differences in the procedural and attitudinal learning of the students who participated in the consolidated and reconstructed site. However, this reality is not manifested in the assimilation of conceptual content.
