Ensinando as Leis de Newton por meio de recursos midiáticos e de recursos experimentais

Abstract

This article describes a pedagogical practice on Newton’s Laws, developed a suburban school of Rio de Janeiro city, with a class from 9th grade elementary school students, classified as "difficult" because of the aggressive behavior. Facing this challenge plus the need to share this syllabus, the axis of pedagogical practice was the problematic and contextualization with differentiated lessons using computers at school, the platform of digital lessons provided by the Rio de Janeiro city Municipal Education Department, as well as experimental classes, in order to the subject could be experienced using low-cost materials: toys, ropes and skateboards. At first, most of the class created resistance to the use of the internet for research in physics, because usually use it only for social networks. It was evident the need for planning, research and adoption of a mediator-dialogical approach by the teacher, allowing another perspective for the use of computers as a research tool. It is also required the involvement of the school manager, for support of the teacher. Also to join the technological resources and experimental classes with investigative bias, the presentation of content became more attractive to the students, because their daily relationship with technological world, gradually felt motivated, actively collaborating and conceptual changes, participating in each stage of the proposed activities. Keywords: Experimental class. Computer. Contextualization; Digital framework.
