Proposta de sequência didática para o efeito fotoelétrico no ensino médio: história, experimentos e aplicações

Abstract

This paper seeks to propose a Didactic Sequence for the content of the Photoelectric Effect, intended for the final stage of the third year of high school. To do só, it investigates how the History and Philosophy of Science and the elements of Modern and Contemporary Physics are manifested in the message of the Common National Curricular Base, a guiding document in force in the education systems. With the results of the research, the promotion of the elements of history of science and modern physics was verified, in addition to a biased characteristic for the labor market and the scientific literacy function of education. The interpretation and organization of the data allowed us to schematize the sequence of lessons in order to explore the elements and assumptions of the guiding document along with the didactic methodological composition of the three pedagogical moments. To support the didactic content of the sequence, supporting materials were elaborated, fruits of a didactic transposition, which explores the history of science in the development of the photoelectric effect and a sequence of experimental activities using electric circuits allied with simulation resources.
