Práticas experimentais mediadas por interfaces da internet na formação de professores de física

Abstract

This survey of the following problem: "As experiments mediated by the internet interfaces in training courses for physics teachers, offered by UAB, can help to ensure that these can assume the identity of genuinely distance learning courses?" From this question is aimed generally investigate the existence of experimentation practices mediated by the internet interfaces in Physics teacher training courses offered by UAB. Specifically it aimed to: conduct a literature review of the experimental practices mediated by the internet interfaces identifying levels of education in that focus, the used experimental approaches and resources that are explored in this kind of experimentation; check the extent to which this kind of experimentation is part of the identity of the Physics teacher training courses offered through the UAB; point out which of these practices are explored in Physics teacher training courses offered through the UAB; and highlight the perception of teachers who work in these courses about these practices. This research took the form of a qualitative research over the methodological approach which was carried out in the following movements: theoretical and bibliographic study; survey of productions that focused experimentation mediated by the internet interfaces from journals, conference proceedings, theses and dissertations; documentary analysis of the pedagogical projects of training courses for physics teachers offered through the UAB; and research survey by online questionnaire with teachers who work in these courses. As a result, it was possible to say that the contemporary scenario favors access to a wide range of experiments mediated by the internet interfaces which enable leverage experimentation in physics, basic education and higher education, classroom or distance. Specifically in the case of distance training of Physics teachers, experimentation mediated by the internet interfaces constitutes an important element in the composition of the identity of these courses. In this sense, depending on the degree of refinement of digital resources available in the contemporary scene and the degree of maturity of the experimental practices that use these resources and are exploited within the training courses for physics teachers offered by UAB, advocate thesis that the experiments mediated by interfaces the internet one of the central pillars of the curriculum in undergraduate courses in physics, offered through the UAB, as they contribute to the recognition of these as genuinely distance courses.
