A cultura maker no ensino de óptica geométrica para o ensino médio

Abstract

This work investigates the application of the maker culture in teaching geometric optics in high school, using the construction of periscopes as a didactic tool. The maker culture promotes active learning, allowing students to understand abstract concepts through hands-on experimentation. The methodology involves an initial theoretical approach, followed by the construction of devices and a collective reflection on the applied optical principles. This strategy is expected to increase student engagement, improve content assimilation, and develop skills such as creativity and teamwork. The expected results include greater interest in physics and more meaningful learning.
