A robótica educacional como ferramenta metodológica no processo ensino-aprendizagem: uma experiência com a segunda lei de Newton na série final do ensino fundamental

Abstract

Technologies, throughout history, have supported and reframed the different processes of teaching and learning at the same time they are influenced by these processes. The educational robotics, as well as the latest educational and technological resources, opens up new educational possibilities, and these possibilities are explored in this work. From an empirical pedagogy, an analysis of the interference of the use of educational robotics in the learning of scientific knowledge students was held in the final series of elementary education in a public school in Curitiba. Based on the theory of Constructivist Seymour Papert derived mainly from Piaget's notion that abstract concepts can be learned from the exploratory research with hands, to look for evidence that learning occurred through practical lessons assembly and programming of robots ( LEGO ® Mindstorms NXT ) and simulations of real situations, interpretations of nature and conceptual transposition. The scope of this work was to investigate the contributions of educational robotics in training grants for cognition of Newton's second law and its applications. How should the methodology of a physics class in elementary school with the introduction of educational robotics? This tool can be used in the context of everyday school life? The results show this feature as a useful tool in the teaching - learning content proposed a methodology and dynamic motivational factor for students quite high.
