Estudo da influência das affordances para aprendiagem de ressonância em meios materiais por meio dos padrões de Chladni

Abstract

With the advances of technology and for the most part, once thinking about products without proper design, it has brought new challenges for the teacher in teaching and what to offer attractive to students. The challenge of technology that has turned the market, does not give the agent time to understand and know how to use it or even exploit all its potentialities. Rescuing laboratory practice in schools infer in some details, which starts from the lack of continuing education for the teacher, and laboratories with the minimum that the teacher needs to elaborate their experimental scripts. The present research brings in its scope a study of the perception - action, proposed by the Psychologist J. J Gibson (1986), that proposes that the learning of the agent is given by the perception of the affordances. In order to better understand how it can influence perceptual learning, a group of 5th grade students from a peripheral college in the city of Londrina-PR, who had no contact with a physics laboratory, were analyzed to manipulate acoustics equipment. They were divided into four groups, and the control group (CG) had all the support of the researcher to manipulate the equipment as well as the execution of the experiment. And the experimental group (GE) that had no instruction from the researcher on how to use the equipment in the experimental activity, leaving them only an illustrative and vague image of the operation of each equipment. In summary, Gibson (1979/1986) proposes that there are two aspects of information that necessarily compose it simultaneously - "information-about", called invariants, and "information-for", called affordances. (OLIVEIRA; RODRIGUES, 2014, p.11). With the aim of answering how affordances may influence learning, this work sought to elaborate a technical manual of the construction and application of plate resonance experiments, EF F Chladni physical German discovery known as "father" of acoustics by innovative discoveries in the field of acoustics in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. For the accomplishment of the study we used the research methods, phenomenological bibliographical because it deals with the perception and action of the research subject. According to the nature of the problem the data are analyzed qualitatively.
