O uso da plataforma microcontrolada Arduino no ensino de eletrodinâmica

Abstract

Looking towards new ways of content approach to complement the traditional class with some demonstrative experiments, appear the need for a didactic sequence, sustained in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) so that students are active subjects in the process teaching / learning and should be occur collaboratively. Thus, the present work aims to design, implement and evaluate a teaching sequence on the electrodynamics, making use of hardware technologies and software based on constructivist and interactionist theories held by David Ausubel and Lev Vygotsky and according to Parameters National curriculum. The application occurred in the second quarter of 2015 school year in the Escola Estadual de Ensino Médio Vera Cruz, (State School at city of Vera Cruz – RS), in a class of 3rd year of high school at evening class. The proposal is based on official documents (PCNEM, PCNs +) that highlight the importance of working more with issues that may establish links with events of the dayto-day, justifying the high school as a stage in which this knowledge should be contemplated. The educational proposal consists of a kit containing electric and electronics components and others resources needed to implement the instructional sequence that will be contemplated with description of activities and challenges. This work (unlike others similar ones) emphasizes students as researchers and promote them as active subjects in the teaching-learning process. The proposal was oriented in a crescent complexity. The evaluation was developed from the perspective of a collaborative methodology and the results give evidence of a significant learning.
