Estratégias didáticas para o ensino de física no ensino médio: um estudo no MNPEF, UFPI campus ministro Petrônio Portela

Abstract

This research aims to examine the pedagogical approaches adopted by teachers in teaching Physics, as well as to discuss the main challenges faced in the context of high school education. Several criticisms raised throughout the analysis refer to persistent difficulties in the school environment. The study also proposes to investigate didactic practices that depart from the traditional teaching model, still widely present in basic education classrooms. To carry out this investigation, an analysis of the dissertations presented within the scope of the National Professional Master's Degree in Physics Teaching (MNPEF), specifically at the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI), was conducted between 2020 and 2024. Due to time limitations and the absence or scarcity of works defended at other centers of the institution, it was decided to restrict the scope of the research to the Ministro Petrônio Portella campus. The main objective of this work was to identify the teaching methodologies present in the dissertations produced at MNPEF/UFPI. The following specific objectives stand out: the categorization and analysis of the teaching strategies adopted in the dissertations of the aforementioned center, as well as the performance of a bibliographic review on the main methodologies used in the teaching of Physics, with emphasis on those explored in the work developed at the Ministro Petrônio Portella campus.
