Divulgação Científica: A Física de Altas Energias para alunos do ensino básico

Abstract

The present work develops a research with high school students through the application of forms and remote seminars involving scientific dissemination. Focusing on introducing concepts of High Energy Physics into schools, this work aims to investigate what level of prominence scientific dissemination through remote expository seminars can achieve. The research was carried out in two parts, with the application of two presentations involving a pair of pre- and post-seminar questionnaires, formed by identical questions, on the topic in focus. The key idea was centered in its application moments, as one was used before the presentation started, and the other after the presentation ended. This mechanism was proposed in order to assess the impact of scientific dissemination through seminars, presented to a group of high school students from various local schools, who are enrolled in the Simplifica pre-university course, where the research was carried out. Comparing responses and identifying the degree of deconstruction and increased knowledge of such issues after the actions took place, it was possible to measure the impact caused on the investigated group.
