Uma proposta do uso da série "The Big Bang Theory" para uma aprendizagem significativa no ensino de física

Abstract

Physics teaching has faced several difficulties, especially due to the lack of methodologies that arouse student’s interest and favor the understanding of the content. The predominance of expository classes, often decontextualized, contributes to low student participation and to the difficulty in assimilating fundamental concepts. Given this scenario, this monograph proposes the use of audiovisual productions as an innovative teaching strategy, with the aim of making learning more dynamic, attractive and meaningful. The main resource was the series The Big Bang Theory, which addresses several physical concepts and phenomena in a comical and accessible way. Based on this series, teaching sequences aimed at high school students were developed, seeking to relate school content to everyday situations presented in the selected episodes. The proposal aims to facilitate learning, promote greater student engagement and demonstrate that Physics is present in everyday life in a concrete and understandable way.
