Estudo de caso: avaliando o nível de conhecimento sobre energia nuclear no ensino médio

Abstract

This research had as its theme the teaching of Physics in high school, adopting the case study evaluating the level of knowledge about nuclear energy in this teaching modality. Through this work, it was intended to know the level of such a relevant subject on nuclear energy with reference to a state school Ceti Otávio Falcão, located in the city of Porto - PI, which offers classes from the 6th to the 9th year in higher fundamental education and from the 1st to the 3rd year of high school, final years and EJA. The general scope is to know if current affairs are being applied in the classroom in physics teaching. Among the specific objectives: what percentage is the understanding of the nuclear energy theme according to the questionnaire. Thirty (30) students were used as object of study, 10 of each level of education (first, second and third grades of high school), initially, the names of students who were interested in participating in the research were collected and, later, carrying out a raffle of the contemplated names, so that the selection was carried out at random to define the groups of speeches.
