Novas metodologias de ensino para o ensino de Física: o uso de simuladores e jogos como recurso pedagógico para construção do processo de ensino e aprendizagem

Abstract

In the teaching and learning process, challenging situations arise daily that, in a way, make the teacher look for different ways for the student to learn. Faced with the challenges of the teaching and learning process, according to education theorists, it is necessary to use new mechanisms that promote a better quality of teaching, allowing students to develop their specific skills for certain types of learning. We highlighted in our article that new methodologies are important for teaching physics. The teacher, when taking something attractive to the students into his pedagogical practice, possibly arouses their curiosity, providing opportunities for reflection and effectively promoting learning. Simulators and games enter this scenario as a support for the students' learning process in physics teaching. The teacher as a mediator of teaching and learning, according to the bibliographical theoretical contribution of our research, must have adequate training and working conditions to know how to deal with, overcome or minimize students' learning difficulties.
