Abstract

This study aimed to elaborate and investigate the pedagogical potential of a didactic sequence for teaching the theme Light and Colors in a high school third year class of the course Technical in computing in a federal public institution located in Campo Mourão, a city in the Northeast of Paraná state. The developed didactic sequence consisted in different teaching resources such as videos, simulators, games, mainly in practical activities. The material was produced and applied to a class of 30 students in the second semester of 2017. This work was supported by the approach of qualitative theory. For data collecting it was used structured questionnaires, field notes and didactical material produced by the students during the execution of the activities. The implementation of the didactic sequence pointed out a development of a learning context different from the traditional one, once it enabled students to learn about Light and Colors contents. The collect data allow us to infer that the developed resources might be considered a potential pedagogical material for Physics teaching since it enabled students ’effective participation during all steps, and the most important, it improved the learning about subjects taught subsequently. It was possible to notice due to students` level of argumentation after the work had been concluded as well as their answers in the last activity of the didactic sequence (game).
