Aperfeiçoamento e aplicação de unidades de ensino potencialmente significativas com foco em grandezas físicas, unidades de medidas e suas relações

Abstract

The proposal of this work is to implement a methodology that allows the student to glimpse a physics that will be present in their daily life. This methodology, entitled Potentially Significant Teaching Units (PSTU), is based on David Ausubel's significant learning theories and Jean Piaget's cognitive development. The sequential aspects for development, application and analysis of results are described throughout the work. The PSTU presented is focused on teaching, physical quantities, units of measures and their relationships and is divided into 5 classes described, applied and analyzed for effectiveness of the method. This PSTU also has an improvement in order to increase the capacity of concentration, logical reasoning and consequently cognitive development through the logical heating modules. Through this methodology it was possible to allow and verify a considerable learning about the historical process, application in the day to day and presentation of solutions to problems situations related to the topic subject. All the material used is detailed in Appendix A, with texts aimed at the teacher and in Appendix B, ready for application in the classroom. Together Appendices A and B compose the Educational Product to which this work is proposed and is intended in the implementation and development of new PSTU in order to provide a more interesting, pleasurable and effective Physics teaching.
