Elaboração de um episódio de modelagem para o estudo de fontes renováveis de energia, potência elétrica e consumo elétrico no ensino médio

Abstract

In this Course Completion Work, planning and application of a Modeling Episode aimed at High School with the theme related to the content of electromagnetism, eletric power, and electric energy consumption activities that presented the contextualized teaching of physics and investigating practices involving the generation of electric energy through sources of renewable energy. For the elaboration of the work, a bibliographical research in two Physics teaching magazines, with the intention of identifying works related to the topics of electric power generation using renewable energy, conducting classroom experiments on concepts of electromagnetism and the use of Modeling Episodes. A theoretical basis for the elaboration of the project was studied, the Theories of Significant Learning of David Ausubel and science conception of Mario Bunge. These activities were planned and implemented in the third year of high school, with 7 activities being carried out during the months of September-November of 2018. During the applications it was observed that due to the difference of the model used from that of the traditional, at first the students were accommodated and did not were inclined to participate actively in the class, however, over the activities, there was an increase in the number of students' participation in the classroom. At the end of the applications, the results were satisfactory, in which students were predisposed to learn, interacting significantly with the material made available.
