Análise sobre o uso de simuladores no ensino de eletromagnetismo

Abstract

The contents related to eletromagnetism are presented to students as complex elements that are difficult to visualize, even more so if they are approached theoretically. Therefore, the present work soought to explore the advantages that simulators bring to the construction of a didatic sequence aimed at teaching of Physicsn then a collection of articles related to the use of simulators for eletromagnetism classes was analyzed, with the main focus being those that had pratical aplications. To synthetize the, Bardim’s content analysis was used as a methodology, seeking to obtain an overview of the potential and limitaions with the use of this pedagogical resource. Finally, a didactic sequence proposal was developed for the content of electromagnetic fields in high school, a proposal that makes use of the Phet and Vaskac simulators, with the purpose of having alternatives for experimentation in the classroom. The data analyzed indicates that there is still a lot to improve in relation to pratical applications of simulators, as well as their popularization. Also highlighting the factors that contribute to better teaching-learning, expanding the power of visualization and consequently the understanding of phenomena.
