O ensino de tópicos de física moderna e contemporânea a partir da série de streaming Dark

Abstract

The general objective of this research is to understand which relationships involving Modern and Contemporary Physics students from a public school can make when watching and discussing excerpts from the German series Dark. The research data were collected through audio and video recording in 2023 with a third-year high school class at a public school in the city of Colombo, metropolitan region of Curitiba, in a total of eleven meetings. Data analysis was carried out using Hermeneutics-phenomenology, based on the work of Farias (2003). Among the results observed, a greater motivation on the part of the students was noticed. The students’ statements were initially separated into units of meaning. Subsequently, grouped and interpreted in the initial categories, where the nomothetic analysis of what was presented by each participant in the research was carried out. Then, they were reinterpreted and grouped in the broad categories to finally be grouped in the general categories that approximate the objectives of the research. As for the results obtained, it was possible to notice that the students incorporated into their vocabulary scientific terms that were not previously used. In addition, the students demonstrated great interest in certain topics of Modern and Contemporary Physics, such as time travel and the processes of nuclear fission and fusion.
