A contribuição das mulheres para a física moderna: uma proposta de material de apoio para docentes do Ensino básico

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to present and discuss the main objectives that hinder the insertion and consideration of the work of women scientists, both in the social context and in the educational context. Therefore, this work brings as an educational product a support material for basic education teachers that addresses the main contributions of women to modern physics in a contextualized way. This work also brings the concept of what science is, what were the feminist contributions, the importance of representation, and also what some high school physics teachers think about the insertion of this type of material, the answers were based on the analysis of content. The use of this educational product in the classroom aims to help teachers to provide a discussion of the life stories of these women scientists, as their main contributions to modern physics in basic education, along with complementary activities, thus trying to contribute at least a little to this historical debt we have with the great scientists.
