Eletromagnetismo e os livros didáticos de física: uma análise da contextualização dos conteúdos do ensino médio

Abstract

The contextualization of the contents of physics, and in particular electromagnetism, is of fundamental importance for education in this area. Observing this need, this paper has the general objective thoroughly analyze the context of electromagnetism content, from historical aspects, technological, experimental and proposed exercises, Physics textbooks used in public schools of high school. We investigated how electromagnetism is approached on their books, as well as its context and applications suggested by the authors of the works are focused on the national high school exam. To conduct this study, made use of a descriptive research with a qualitative approach, using as a tool for data collection a survey of textbooks of the third year of high school. However it appears that electromagnetism is presented in a well organized way didactically in most of the copies , thus contributing to effective teaching on the subject
