O uso da experimentação no ensino de óptica geométrica no ensino médio na Unidade Escolar Alberto Leal Nunes

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how affectivity of using experiments to Geometrical Optics learning in high school. The methodology used in this study was a descriptive qualitative research, being carried out with students of the 3rd year of high school in the School Unit Alberto Leal Nunes located in Piaui Regeneration, where sought to know the importance of testing for learning Geometrical Optics content and the use of experiments in physics classes stimulates students' understanding of the particular content. This study was based on the work of theoretical Gaspar and Monteiro (2005); Vygotsky (2009); Vygotsky (2007); Borges (2002); Parasuraman (1991); Moreira (1999); Villatorre, Higa, Tychanowiez (2009). to note that the use of experiments makes the most attractive classes generating regular participation of students. Finally, the search result shows that teaching with experimental activities, object of study of this research leads to significant improvement in student performance in relation to the understanding of the content worked
