Física moderna e contemporânea no ensino médio: uma proposta de articulação entre objetos educacionais e visitas a laboratórios

Abstract

This work focuses on the teaching of modern and contemporary physics (MCP) at the secondary level. Our approach considers the Brazilian educational context and the role of information and communication technologies (ICT), in particular the use of open educational resources (OER). Emphasis is given to the use of videos in the classroom. In addition, visits to didactic and research laboratories were organized. The videos, previously developed within our research group, were used as a basis for the elaboration of didactic sequences, and refer to experiments on spectral lamps, the Millikan oil drop experiment, and the photoelectric effect. The visits were held at the Modern Physics Lab and the research Lab Fotonanobio at UTFPR, and intended to bring secondary, undergraduate and graduate students together with researchers and professors. This articulation between OER and Laboratory visits aim to bring students to contact with experimental results regarding MCP, given the context in which there is no physics laboratory available at school premises. It is intended that this approach will serve as a basis for the mobilization of previous organizers, in the context of Significant Learning, to improve the teaching learning of important MCP phenomena.
