Utilização de uma sequência didática no estudo da gravitação universal: conto de ficção e simulador como ferramenta de ensino

Abstract

Physics teaching often takes place in a traditional ways, with na emphasis on oral activities and the execissve use of mathematical formulas. Thinking about the possibilities that the teaching of physics can bring, we propose, in this work, a didactic sequence that involves the use of a Science fiction short story and a simulator, in order to provide the students involved with teaching in an interactive way, and that it happens the taching – learning. The use of the tools involved allowed students to particiate significantly in teaching. We chose the Gravitation contebnt beacause of its importance for teaching basic physics and because it is content that is seen by students, in a summarized and simplified way. The use of the Science fiction short story and the simulator promoted learning between the relations between the real and the fictional, and wing the relations between the conceptions previously known by these students with new information acquired through the application of the work proposed here. Thus, making it possible to analyze the contribution of using the Science fiction short story with the simulator in the teaching of Physcis in Basic Education
