Aspectos históricos dos conteúdos de física: uma análise da abordagem do conteúdo "Leis de Newton" nos livros didáticos

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of the Historical Approach to Newton's Leia in textbooks for high school students. Developed in a bibliographical way, we implemented an analysis of textbooks adopted in state schools in the city of Campo Maior-PI. In order to present some positive aspects of this approach in textbooks. We defend that Physics can and should be implemented in the classroom with this approach. Two textbooks were used by high school students, as a mechanism for learning and understanding this discipline, which, for the most part, brings difficulties of acceptance by students, due to some resistance to current pedagogical approaches. We collected information about the historical process about Newton's Laws, and we analyzed which are the most appropriate to the school environment. We investigated the students' interest in historical construction in order to develop subsequent studies. We chose some textbook authors, which we consider as elements for reflection. Our objective in analyzing historical aspects of Newton's Laws resulted in the fact that the historical approach is still little explored, requiring further studies and more effective implementation in future publications for the high school public.
