Uma proposta para se ensinar efeito fotoelétrico no ensino médio

Abstract

The official documents that govern the teaching of Physics in the country and especially in the state of Paraná indicate the need for the insertion of Modern and Contemporary Physics in High School. In this sense, this work aimed to elaborate and implement a didactic sequence for the teaching of the photoelectric effect in a group of the third grade of High School of a private institution in the city of Maringá, Paraná. The teaching and learning strategies that guide the teaching sequence are pedagogically grounded in Vygotsky's sociocultural theory. The present study followed the assumptions of the qualitative research. The implementation of the proposal occurred in two meetings that took place in counter shift and all materials collected for analysis were interpreted according to the principles and procedures of the content analysis of Bardin (1977). A relevant result in this work was the construction of an environment of teaching and learning with moments that stimulated the participation of students in a democratic way, promoting extremely useful social interactions, which according to Gaspar (2014) is fundamental for learning to occur . We also emphasize that the didactic sequence implemented was satisfactory in relation to the objectives of the research, because the students were led to raise and test hypotheses, to discuss their hypotheses in small groups having the chance to defend their point of view and mainly respect the point of view On the other, in accordance with what Zabala (1998) calls attitudinal content.
