Ensino de física: investigação para a construção de uma proposta didática para a 1ª série do Ensino Médio

Abstract

The objective of this research was to suggest a didactic proposal differentiated from the concept (s) / content (s) of Physics that the students considered to be of greater difficulty in the first grade of High School. This research was carried out from an investigation having as target public the students of two classes of two schools of the public state network of the municipality of Dom Pedrito. In addition, the two conductors of the physics discipline of the first grade were interviewed. For that, as specific objectives, we sought to investigate, from a questionnaire, which concepts / contents of the curricular component Physics students present greater difficulty understanding in the first grade of High School; identify which methodologies teachers use in the classroom; check what resources the school provides; investigate which technologies are often used by the students, understand if the students are able to make the relationship between the content taught and the daily life. The analysis of the results of the questionnaires pointed to Newton's Laws (1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd) as concept / content considered to be more difficult for students to understand. In addition, he indicated that an attractive and differentiated proposal should use reading, mobile, internet and physical movement. From this, the QR Code (two-dimensional barcode) was chosen as a didactic proposal that could assist in the concepts / contents listed. This two-dimensional code has more than the traditional information storage capacity and can be easily scanned by most cell phones that have a camera and internet access. It is emphasized that this research only proposes and does not execute it. It is hoped that the construction of this methodological proposal can contribute to the teaching of Physics in a differentiated, playful and creative way, stimulating the mobility, interaction and scientific curiosity, linking Information and Communication Technology to Physics Teaching.
