A utilização de histórias em quadrinhos para ensinar máquinas térmicas, com base nos três momentos pedagógicos

Abstract

This study addresses the use of Comics (Comic Books) in the teaching and learning process of Physics contents in high school. From this, the objective is to help educators by presenting strategies to teach the contents within the discipline of physics. The research carried out is characterized as descriptive of the experience report type, exploratory and qualitative approach, being carried out a field research of the researchaction type. The data collection process carried out for this research used the following data collection instruments: structured questionnaire, participant observation, field diary and a focus group. It should be noted that before starting the use of these teaching resources, the traditional teaching of the content was carried out, transmitting to the students knowledge about the contents related to their daily lives, highlighting the operation of an air conditioning, a refrigerator and the engine of a car, based on the premise that this prior knowledge is a fundamental factor. Students were evaluated according to what was observed in the field, considering the performance of students in the classroom, presenting the results in the form of an experience report. To analyze the qualitative data, a content analysis of the collected data was performed. During the research carried out, it was possible to verify that the comic books contributed to the teaching and learning of Physics, with the participation of students and their interest in the content, mainly because they are part of their daily lives, as instruments such as the air are used by them conditioning and the refrigerator went unnoticed in knowledge, being rich in physics content. Also noteworthy is the learning to use technological tools, as they also needed to learn to manipulate the tools to develop their stories. At the end of the study, the teaching and learning process of Physics must bedifferentiated and directed through alternative and attractive methods, to conquer the student to the point of always having him/her around at the disposal of thespontaneous and meaningful learning. It is also believed that without innovative measures and differentiated techniques, such as the use of comic books, students' interest in teaching Physics will decrease more and more.
