Estudo do potencial pedagógico de uma UEPS sobre semicondutores para o ensino médio

Abstract

Our study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a proposed teaching sequence, in an interdisciplinary way, through David Ausubel's theory of meaningful learning, for semiconductor teaching in a third-grade high school class in a public school in the city. of Cianorte, in the northwest region of the state of Paraná. This proposal consists of an educational product of the National Professional Masters in Physics Teaching. And it is based on the assumptions of a qualitative and qualitative research, built through:questionnaires, practical activity, reading texts and a field diary produced during the implementation. All analysis of the collected material is in accordance with Marco Antônio Moreira's assumptions, through a UEPS (Potentially Significant Teaching Unit), in which the author assigns eight stages, considering the knowledge acquired and leading the student to deepen the content worked with more advanced problem situations, through the following stages: theme presentation, survey of prior knowledge, proposition of a problem situation, progressive differentiation, deepening of concepts, integrating reconciliation, evaluation and effectiveness. Among the results we can observe the interest of students in the subject worked in the proposal, verifying the relationship between the concepts of semiconductor materials studied with their daily lives, and also realizing the interdisciplinarity with another discipline studied in high school.
