This paper presents the main results of a study aimed to assess the implementation of a didactic proposal made up of computational modeling activities, using the AVM diagram - an adaptation of Gowin's V to computational modeling-, and its impact on empowering students to formulate questions in physics class. The investigation was carried out with a group of seven students of physics from the Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia. The study is theoretically grounded in the principles of Moreira's Critical Meaningful Learning Theory -based on Postman and Weingartner's ideas of teaching as a subversive activity- and also in computational modeling using the AVM diagram. The main results reveal that the implementation of the didactic proposal had a positive impact in the development of students' ability to formulate questions about Newtonian dynamics as a field of knowledge.
