Analogias e metáforas no ensino de física: uma análise sobre vídeos de circuitos elétricos

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the use of analogies and metaphors in electrical circuits videos on YouTube. In order to guide us, Chaïm Perelman’s theoretical assumptions were used, which introduced the concept of fórum and theme, as well as the products of the interactions between them. A brief survey of the literature on the use of analogies and metaphors in teaching physics was also made. Thus, qualitative research of exploratory nature was carried out to identify videos on YouTube that had analogies and metaphors and based on them, a discourse analysis was carried out with the aim of highlighting their forums, themes, analogies and metaphors. Afterwards, an analysis of theoretical coherence between the concepts presented was carried out. And it is concluded that analogies and metaphors are not used to explain the physical concept, but to simplify it só that it can possibly be developed in the future.
