A utilização da plataforma arduino no ensino de física: medindo carga e energia armazenada em associações de capacitores

Abstract

It is noticeable that students are increasingly active and sometimes disinterested in the classroom, one way to harness such energy is to use it in favor of the developing and engaging in technological knowledge related to education in the teaching-learning process, thus, the student unknowingly learns and teaches. Arduino presents infinites options of technology for the teacher to use in class and the educational robotics is a growing field, drawing students' attention to a new vision of education and above all a new way of learning, being able to put in practice the classroom contents. Our goal was the construction, application and verification of the educational potential of an educational product which consist in a device capable of measuring the amount of charge and energy stored in capacitor associations using the Arduino interface and at the same time, we had produced and implemented a Potentially Meaningful Teaching Unit, which it had been enable the use of the device, helping students to understand the daily use of this important content of physics. Our work has a qualitative approach and it was implemented in the senior year of the high school class in a public school at the town Cianorte - PR. For the production of the experience report we decided to base our work at the theoretical of meaningful learning. We saw that through properly planned experimentation, within the activities proposed by PMTU, students can interact more in physics classes, becoming co-responsible for their learning, being that a meaningful learning.
