Introdução à circuitos elétricos: investigação acerca da aplicação de experimentos de circuitos de lâmpadas elétricas no processo de ensino aprendizagem.

Abstract

This work addresses the Introduction to electrical circuits with a focus on the practical application of lamp circuits as a pedagogical tool in teaching electricity concepts in a 3rd grade class◦ high school series at the state public school CETI – Edith Nobre de Castro, located in the urban area of the city of São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí. The research aims to demonstrate how the application of experiments in Physics classes can facilitate students' understanding and engagement during classes. The methodology involves the use of theoretical activities combined with experimental practice, in which students build and analyze electrical circuits in series and parallel, using mini lamps as main elements. The results show that the relationship between theoretical and practical classes stimulates curiosity, improves student engagement and contributes to the establishment of abstract concepts in a concrete way. Furthermore, the study highlights how experimental practices play a relevant role in Physics teaching, as they are conducted in a dynamic way, which makes the learning process more accessible, encouraging students to improve their ideas.
