O jornal científico como instrumento de aprendizagem para o ensino de Física no ensino médio

Abstract

This master's thesis presents a methodological proposal based on the use of a printed/digital newspaper and a TV news in Physics Education. In order to seek pedagogical instruments that go beyond the merely expository class, the newspaper as a didactic tool enables the contextualization of physics in the student's daily life, within a critical perspective, leading to an active participation in the teaching-learning process. For this, we present as an educational product a proposal for a Didactic Sequence (DS) that aims to offer creativity and dynamism to Basic Education, particularly in the discipline of physics. Using multimedia resources, the realization of this project was divided into stages: planning, application and evaluation. DS has an interdisciplinary perspective and, therefore, knowledge from other disciplines was involved, such as the Portuguese language, which contributed to clarifying the journalistic genre. The educational product had as its target audience students from the first and second grades of high school, having been experimented with 131 students of the evening course at Judith Nascimento da Silva State School, in the municipality of Flexeiras, state of Alagoas. The study was set up from a qualitative research, where data collection throughout the research was carried out through the researcher's observations and records, in addition to na opinion questionnaire. Furthermore, in this work, we seek to analyze the use of this type of tool as a facilitator in the teaching-learning process.
