Ensino de Física no ensino médio por meio de jogos: possibilidades nas salas de recursos multifuncionais

Abstract

In the current teaching-learning process that runs through Elementary Education to Higher Education, educators often have difficulties in arousing the interest of their students, as traditional teaching methods are less and less attractive to students. The most important journals that publish Physics articles in Brazil have published few articles on the subject around the Physics game and its results with Special Education students, revealing a knowledge gap. In this context, the general objective was to investigate the possible contributions of using the resource room and playfulness as a pedagogical resource in the teaching of Physics. In this way, the present research consists of a case study, which has as participants teachers of physics and the SRM (Multifunctional Resource Room) belonging to the Regional Education Center (NRE) of Paranaguá, Paraná. Questionnaires were applied to physics and SRM teachers with questions about the development of their didactic-pedagogical work, and semistructured interviews were conducted with physics and SRM teachers from the city of Paranaguá. The results of the research showed that the physics teachers and the teachers who work in the multifunctional resource room in the schools that belong to the NRE of Paranaguá, see the use of educational physics teaching games in their practices as positive. In the classroom, some even work or have already worked with a game in their classes. Many of these teachers do not have specific training in relation to the use of educational games and they would be willing to carry out such training, however, one of the obstacles has been the issue of time, overcrowding of the classes they teach, the issue also that with the reform of secondary education the secretary of state presented goals to be met and with that the whole issue of teaching and learning has been impaired, with all these factors cited the use of educational games as an alternative methodology becomes more complicated but not impossible. In addition to the research that was developed, an ebook was also prepared, where the importance of educational games in physics teaching is addressed, how the use of games can add to the practices of physics teachers as well as teachers who work in the multifunctional resource room.
