Utilização da robótica educacional para o estudo de resistores não lineares no 9º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

Thinking about the improvement of teaching and the current perspectives of the Brazilian educational system, the objective of this work is to develop, implement and evaluate the pedagogical potential of a didactic kit for the study of nonlinear resistors through Educational Robotics. The teaching resources employed are easily accessible and inexpensive for teachers and students corroborating with the meaningful learning method related to introductory non-linear concepts. The experimental activities of the kit were implemented in a class of the ninth grade of Elementary School II, from a private institution in the city of Maringá - Paraná. For the data collection the answers given by the students during the development of the activities were used as well as a field diary produced by the teacher / researcher. The data were presented and discussed second the assumptions of the qualitative research. The result obtained was positive in the motivational aspect and scholastic performance of the students, evidenced by the increase of interest, in the collective participation during the accomplishment of the activities.
