Arte e aprendizagem significativa em Física: a música como facilitador no ensino de ondas

Abstract

This work presents the relationship between music and Physics in the study of sound waves content during high school education. The choice of this theme arose from the observation of difficulties faced in public schools, with the lack of laboratories being one of the obstacles that permeate the school environment. In this context, we analyze the development of methodologies that can contribute to overcoming the challenges generated by the lack of infrastructure in public schools. The aim of this study is to understand how music can act as a facilitator in the teaching and learning process of sound waves content, especially in the high school Physics discipline. The study involved the focal group methodology consisting of four Physics teachers from state schools in Oeiras, Piauí. For data collection, two questionnaires were administered, and a workshop was conducted that explored the interdisciplinary relationship between music and physics. The workshop adopted meaningful methodological approaches and involved the construction of didactic material using recyclable materials, such as the tin can guitar, with the intention of being used by teachers in the classroom. The analyzed results indicated that music emerges as a playful tool for teaching sound waves content. The use of methodologies incorporating music proved capable of enhancing the understanding of the content taught in the classroom. This contributes to making Physics classes more dynamic and appealing to students, thus promoting a more meaningful learning experience.
