Uma abordagem dos Conceitos de Física Aplicados ao Cotidiano

Abstract

The present work is the result of a critical observation to the teaching of physics in general, in the search for alternatives for the teaching of some physical concepts more basic, correlating them with examples of students' daily lives in the search for better contextualization. The importance that students attach to the actions of teaching-learning that put them in a passive position in the learning process, focused in general on the memorization of concepts and replication of mathematical solutions problems proposed, may contribute to more shallow. In which physical-mathematical concepts are not questioned or reflections, the acceptance of such concepts are almost immediate - as soon as a problemexample is solved - often just replicating the "framing" of a phenomenological equation This seems to have an effect students to demonstrate the famous "insight" in the classroom, while understand a physical concept. As the "meme" of the unusual Futurama drawing: "Ahhh! Now I get it!!!." Classroom experience shows that, in general, it is at this moment that the student's interest in the content is aroused. Often followed also by a euphoria in wanting to cite more personal examples with that phenomenon explained and understood; in a way, the student is more participation in the class - and it is possible to perceive the parallel with what some theorists of the education call them more active students in the teaching-learning process. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho propõe abordar alguns conceitos físicos na busca de alternativas expositivas e metodológicas para o ensino de física – correlacionando-os com exemplos cotidianos dos estudantes a fim de melhor contextualizá-los e despertar seu interesse pelo tema proposto.
