Efeito Fotoelétrico: material digital de apoio aos alunos do terceiro ano do ensino médio

Abstract

Our work aimed to investigate the potential of a digital physics material, with the theme of the photoelectric effect, developed in the light of Gagné's learning theory in a third year high school class of a private school in the city of Maringá, northwest region of the state. from Paraná. This proposal constitutes an educational product of the National Professional master’s in physics teaching. A qualitative research methodology was adopted. This work is based on Gagné's Learning Theory with a focus on Science, Technology and Society. Questionnaires were used for data collection, an initial questionnaire in order to verify the students' previous knowledge and a final one to identify a possible integrative reconciliation about the contents. The results show that the students evolved in the concepts of physics and also in the application of physics in the students' daily lives, mainly in the technological areas. In this way, we perceive evidence of a significant learning of the students in the subject of the photoelectric effect and, in the interdisciplinary relations with other related subjects.
