Uma sequência didática interdisciplinar sobre o estudo da física na prevenção dos acidentes de trânsito

Abstract

From many different views obtained by the teaching of Science and Physics and considering as a basis the educational guidelines set by the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN), this paper talks about an educational project on the study of physics in the prevention of traffic accidents. The entire project was developed by teaching skills with aim of help students learning for themselves. The project was developed in one 1nd year high school classes at a school in Boca da Mata City, Alagoas. The research data collection was made from the application of the modules, the observations made by the teacher and the activities developed during the application of the didactic sequence produced as a product of this work. All procedures were conducted to think over an answer to the question: Would it be possible for first graders to understand that it is plausible to associate physics with traffic accident prevention? The research, resulted in this paper, is a continuation of discussions aimed to comprehend the role of the professor of physics in high school and serves as support to foment further research in the area.
