Experimentos de física com materiais recicláveis e de baixo custo para o ensino médio: uma proposta metodológica com sustentabilidade

Abstract

The present work is a quantitative research that aims to offer an accessible methodology to high school teachers. The interest in this study is to collect data for conducting experiments that lead to high school teaching practice. Another aspiration in this work was, primarily, information that may be used as subvention for the elaboration of didactic strategies for physics classes, such as the use of experiments in the classroom to conduce improvements in teaching practice. The collection of theoretical data was based on the studies of Pietrocola (2001), Moreira (1983), Brazil (2018), among other theories. Posteriorly, the study was taken to State School General Azevedo Costa located in Macapá/AP. There were 34 students participants from two classes of the 3rd year of High School and the teacher of Physics from the same classes. The instruments used for analysis were questionnaires with closed questions asked before and after the applied experiences with the students. The results of the research revealed that the students, although initially had many difficulties in doing the questionnaires, after the experiences application were able to learn about the content questioned of electricity. Low-cost materials were also used in the experiences with great progress in the didactic field.
