História da física: uma abordagem voltada para as unidades de medida

Abstract

This work is characterized as an approach of methodology of teaching directed to the use of the history of Physics with focus on the content of units of measures. The possibility of promoting this discussion highlights the learning to solve problems that involve the reading of the historical context, as a strategy used to the appropriation of content in an enriching and more profound way. The qualitative study aims to develop a teaching proposal learning the content of units of measurement from the historical context approach. The subjects of the research were students of the 1 st high school of the state public network of the city of Campo Maior - PI. The results pointed out the importance of the treatment of content units of measures, as necessary, to reorganize knowledge, creating identities for the various situations, associating them with their context and time, promoting a greater learning as to the moment of understanding the knowledge of the discipline Of Physics.
