O ensino da supercondutividade na educação básica: aspectos teóricos e práticos

Abstract

This work aims to present, develop, and discuss a proposal for teaching superconductivity content in Physics, applied in basic education. For its development, different teaching strategies were used to facilitate the teaching and learning process, relating the content with applications closer to the student's daily life. The present work is a Professional Master's research conducted in the Graduate Program in Physics Teaching at the Federal Technological University of Paraná – Campo Mourão (UTFPR­CM), in partnership with the Brazilian Society of Physics (SBF). The theoretical ­methodological framework adopted in this research was based on the Historical ­Critical Pedagogy, proposed by Dermeval Saviani, which aims to contribute to the appropriation of knowledge historically produced by humanity. With the presentation of the theme, one developed intervention research with a qualitative approach in a class in the 3rd year of high school at Colégio Estadual Presidente Castelo Branco ­ High School, Normal and Professional, belonging to the Regional Center for Education of Toledo ­ PR. In view of the activities applied, the achieved results were satisfactory since the students' involvement and assimilation of the concepts related them to the main applications of everyday life.
