Estudo das affordances para aprendizagem dos conceitos de perspectiva holográfica, em óptica física, por meio de um simulador de hologramas, para o ensino médio

Abstract

The concern with the impacts of the research in Science Teaching and, especially, in the Teaching of Physics, has been reason of reflection of researchers of the area for more than a decade. However, the advances from academic research are not providing significant improvements in the practices adopted in the school system. According to some authors, this is due to the insufficient contact between the teacher inserted in the brazilian school system and the knowledge obtained from academic research. Aiming at supporting the process of adaptation, in which the situation described above fits, it is an attempt in the present writing, to develop an innovative didactic proposal, adapted to the school reality, and based on the concept of affordances. The aim is to verify if there are potentialities of use of the concept of affordances, regarding the process of teaching and learning, in a school environment. For this purpose, the construction and use of a low cost hologram simulator was performed, in which the identification of affordances was used in the development of all stages of the process. The main affordances identified, were recorded in three tables, divided by categories: positive affordances, negative affordances and false affordances. It is hoped that, the present proposal will serve as a model, to be extended to other experimental practices - such practices may be part of new academic research - precisely because it allows the teacher, in the execution of his duties, to anticipate the main difficulties and confusions - both procedural and conceptual - that are likely to be manifested by the learners, in the school environment, during the execution of the experimental proposal.
